This work is a combination of many processes. The work starts with a camera. On my travels I take many photos of things that interest me. Many times they end up as ideas for drawings or other work. If an image interests me I will make a drawing from photographs that I have taken. From there I will use a variety of printmaking processes to make a print, including, monotypes, solar plate etchings, drypoints, collage, chine colle, carborundum and other process. Each print is one of a kind.

While working in advertising and design for 25 years, I took up printmaking and painting in 1987 and have steadily devoted more time to the art. I studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute from 1995 to 1997. I have taken many workshops locally and abroad, including a month long printmaking workshop at Santa Reparata Studios in Florence. I have taken a variety of workshops at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, California. In Santa Fe, I have taken workshops from Dan Weldon in solar plate making, and Ron Pokrasso in collage/printmaking. I am a juried member of the California Society of Printmakers, The Los Angeles Printmakers, and the Boston Printmakers. My work has been included in shows regionally as well as nationally.
