The beauty of imperfection is reflected in an expressive face or an architectural space that is unfinished or distorted, or in the irregularities of a printed work. This imperfection creates an empathy for where we are and who we are as we come together.
My practice is in lithography and drawing. My paper lithography technique has layers of printmaking and drawing applications so that each piece is a unique monoprint. First, I take a photographic image. Once digitally altered, I print the image using a paper transfer process with oil-based ink. I then layer the work using a monotype process to create unique works as detail on the prints are hand-colored with pencil, pastel and/or watercolor. Much of my recent work relates to American History, specifically Abraham Lincoln and his legacy.
