Artist's Statement
Inspired by architectural design and urban spaces, I create dynamic compositions that reflect the structure and movement of the built environment.
I use hand cut stencils and collagraph plates to create mono prints which are sometimes cut apart and reassembled. I enjoy working in a place where intention and chance have an equal opportunity to shine.
