My Drawings, paintings and prints are mostly landscapes, based on close observation and interpretation.
In this digital age I am drawn more than ever to the handmade traditions of artmaking - slowing down and using my eyes, hands and imagination.
​​
To create my silkscreen prints, I make separate drawings for each color. I print each layer by hand, from background to foreground, over the course of days or weeks, until the image is complete. I print small limited editions. I enjoy the physicality of printmaking, and its challenges and discoveries. Although my prints are landscapes, I feel that in a way the real subject matter is the act of drawing., reflecting and revising as the print develops over time.

About Silkscreen: "Silkscreen printing, also known as screen printing or serigraphy, is a printing technique that uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto a surface, creating a design. A stencil, blocking out areas where ink isn't needed, is applied to the mesh. Ink is then pushed through the open areas of the stencil onto the desired surface, creating a print.
For multi-color prints, the process is repeated with different stencils and colors." ​
