Artist Statement
I found my way to printmaking through sculpting. Skins created from casting natural and found objects became the beginning of my collagraph monoprints. They became a way of drawing with something dimensional. Inking and pressing the sculptural skins into the paper records a specific detail that I hope elicits empathy.
