The mediums that I work in are painting, printmaking and photography. My printmaking combines expression and storytelling. The “Sun and Moon” prints are representative of my relationship with my partner. These prints are made up of a combination of 4, 6”x6” copper plates. The prints are printed with 1 of the plates or all 4. This is representative of whether we’re together or apart, there is still a beautiful quality. My other prints have a bit of storytelling to them as well.

“Otherside” is about a girl yearning for something new, and someone else is wanting the same thing that the girl already has. That the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. The “Flower Meadow” piece is an example of the wide range of tones that I like to achieve in my work. A piece really becomes complete when there are many gray tones and a deep black shade. I believe that my artwork is very representative of where I am in life as well as being aesthetic and beautiful.
