My inspiration often comes from my surrounding environment and the wild nature of West Michigan. I am influenced by those things that are common occurrences in my environment and community, landscapes, landmarks, animals, and people. I enjoy working in many mediums, yet my main focus is printmaking - the process of making multiple originals. My relief prints are predominately woodcuts and linoleum cuts; however, I have recently returned to experimenting with intaglio and mono printing. A current practice is the process of color reduction, as well as using color plate methods. My relief printing is usually performed by hand pulling in the Japanese method with hand tools I have created for the process. I enjoy working directly to the plate during intaglio processes, as well as experimenting with new materials. My hope is that the viewer enjoys my work, as much as I do making it.
