Artist Statement: I grew up in Louisville, and attended Washington University in St. Louis where I earned a BFA in printmaking. I am attracted to printmaking because I love the versatility of printmaking, and the rich array of marks that can be achieved. I often combine a variety of textures and print techniques to create interest and depth in my work. I also like to incorporate paint, metal, and collage into my work. I enjoy the juxtaposition of colors and textures that can be created by combining these materials. My art is inspired by nature-based imagery, as well as folk art and traditional craft symbols; I am also influenced by the use of iconic and narrative imagery throughout art history. I strive to create art that is engaging, whimsical, and conveys a story to the viewer.
