I describe myself as a printmaker, but I probably spend more time doing mixed-media work. My youngest is now in 1st grade, so with two busy kids I find it's more challenging to set aside large chunks of time to print, but when I do, I enjoy every second of it. When I'm working in my home studio, I'm often required to start and stop abruptly depending on what else is going on with the family. So with this staccato-type scenario at home, I'm typically making collages and encaustic works and using proofs and discarded prints in my imagery. Even though I spend a lot of time doing other work, I'm always pulled back into printmaking. The technical aspect and process is just too magnetic. Besides, printmaking rocks!
Current muse: Nikola Tesla and science and math related stuff. I don't understand it. I have a hard time with my multiplication tables, but I'm going with it.
