 My work is narrative.

      I layer humor into images that, on closer look, explore alienation and subjugation. As such, my work mirrors how, in real life, we can fail to see past appearances to recognize darker circumstances for what they are. Nonetheless, we endure, navigating desire, expectation and sacrifice. Through all, we strive to survive and with that there is hope. 

      Lithography is the process I choose to create my work. My fundamental aesthetic is based on the unique quality of line created when drawing with a litho crayon on a stone.  Within the world of printmaking I appreciate the contradiction of the original multiple. The work is printed from a matrix and subtly unique. This duality of opposites reinforces my subject matter based on life experiences that are simultaneously universal and intensely individual.
