I am primarily a printmaker and mixed media artist. My current work involves a process that integrates encaustic monotypes with mixed media.
I practice a form of “asemic writing” which is a kind of invented calligraphy. My work features seeming-symbols that evoke real letters, musical notations and sometimes, scientific equations. These seeming-symbols are gestural abstractions that invite the viewer to project a variety of meanings into the work
