As a resident of Frederick Maryland for over 30 years, I traded the rivers and tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay for the ancient mountains around Frederick County. Printmaking has always been a way for me to follow the mark making, to give in to the process and then stand back. My work is divided between dichotomies of spirit/intellect and abstraction/figuration. In my prints I am exploring change and transformation. I am curious when shapes and forms reappear after some length of time and in a new way, hinting at a place in my psyche that stores this symbolic language for use when I least expect or know how to consciously call it up. It speaks of a
wilderness (wilder/ness) that at times mirrors the natural world around me. While I am primarily a printmaker, I work in a variety of mediums including sculpture, found objects, wood, video and installations.
