My research pulls between two main themes. One is that of human connection and the other is the ethical use of power- who has it, how it should be used, and how to find our own. Through personal metaphor I use figures, texture and mark-making drawn from local flora and fauna to examine stewardship of both the land and one another.

I love to play and I think this is an integral part of what it means to be human. Printmaking is central to my practice because it is an inherently playful media full of surprise, experimentation, and iteration. Its physical and time-intensive nature keep me closely connected to the work, while the multiplicity of print enables images and ideas to shift over time. I often return to and repurpose existing matrices, allowing portions of earlier work to evolve into new things.  I enjoy playing with what is seen and unseen, what is hidden and what is revealed.
