Artist Statement

Please comment...

The process of exploring the emotions within me and understanding those held by others has led me on a long and wonderful journey. Although a lifelong untrained sketch artist, it wasn’t until the twilight of my military career that I discovered printmaking at a local university. The process of interpreting scale and form coupled with the experience of carving wood into images continues to compel and challenge me. Over the years, that process has led me from woodcuts to screen-printing and various experimental processes on paper. Attempting to capture the raw emotion of my fellow humans fills me with a sense of awe and humility, and has proven to be a satisfying way for me to translate my own emotions into visual ideas and physical reality.

I print both what I see, what I feel and have experienced—I work deliberately, usually within the confines of a process but have recently added innovative techniques to my work, My prints are finished when they are able to convey an element of human understanding regarding a place or moment in time.

I also print with my heart on my sleeve....


On a lighter note!
*rap*
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed...
