Printmaker, teaching artist, maker of whatever needs making.

My current practice consists of small, colorful gouache paintings and larger monochromatic woodblock prints. Using only basic shapes to build abstract forms that hint at person or place, I play with structure, transparency, and illusion. In this body of work, I attempt to minimize evidence of the free hand while still suggesting humanity, atmosphere, and humor.
