My current passion. Infused with a variety printmaking techniques, my paintings are somewhat atypical of traditional watercolor style.

Pastepaper

Pastepaper is a 16th century method of paper decoration traditionally used for book covers and end sheets. Pigment is added to a basic flour-water paste and spread onto paper, over which various objects can be dragged or pressed to create highly sophisticated, deceptively simple or whimsical patterns.

Pastels

Pastels allow me to play with color using a combination of linear and painterly strokes. It's a refreshingly direct medium: no cumbersome presses, tools, or potential water spills.

Prints

Printmaking was my focus for twenty years in both undergraduate and post-graduate studies. Each medium requires a different set of skills, materials and a fair amount of practical chemistry.

Drawings

Vine charcoal on Lana paper. The expressive qualities of a simple line and the infinite variations of gray to rich black can be extremely powerful. It's what drew me to printmaking -- but drawing is so much more direct. There are no fancy techniques to hide behind.
