"I
am a printmaker with a painter’s sensibility. Monotype is a technique
with allows for a painterly, colorful and spontaneous approach to
creating images. Animals fascinate me and provide me with a rich source
of forms, textures and expressions to work with.
The combination of
monotype and collage allows me to compose and adapt in response to the
unique subject. When I let go of total control of the process, it is
clear which elements should be cut away and which should be enhanced
with texture, color, and light.
The process becomes exciting as I
discover the relationships between a shorebird on the beach, for
instance, and the image in my mind, the paintbrushes, the press, the
paper, and the combination of ink colors that faithfully express the
bird’s individual characteristics and universal beauty."
