I am an explorer at heart. Something I've been discovering lately is how certain forms and images from nature come together for me in unpredictable, fun and beautiful ways. They seem to respond to each other. The images that speak to me the most are feminine forms, shapes of nature, especially trees, curving, moving forms and then geometric shapes. Adding color to this exploration adds another layer to this almost alchemical process of the unexpected. 

To encourage the process, I make my own hand made papers. This is done by mono-printing on various kinds of papers, some very thin and transparent, others more sturdy and opaque. I use a gelatin plate with acrylic paints to create textures, patterns and shapes. By bringing in plant materials, cut paper or mylar stencils and various objects to create texture, the printed papers are created. These papers are then ripped or cut into shapes, sometimes marked with various kinds of mixed media. 

I hope this work inspires you to respond to the pieces and art in general in your own unique way.
