Works on Paper
Most of the works on paper here are printed on Rives BFK unless otherwise listed.
Eternity in an Hour 2024-2025
Eternity in an Hour elaborates on themes of awe and wonder at the nucleus of my recent work. Balance, harmony, and reflection (literal and metaphorical) are among the concepts explored. The work is ultimately inspired by the symbiotic connections inherent in the mycorrhizal network. The intricate line language used to create much of the work is derived from these neural-like networks. Exhibited in two separate solo exhibits at Pennswood Gallery and Foulkeways at Gwynedd in 2025.
Burnt Branches 2025
Mixed media prints (unique) inspired by photos of intentional burns from the California Bay Area and created especially for the 2025 Foulkeways at Gwynedd solo exhibit.
Golden Thread 2023-2024
Monotype rust prints with botanical dyes and watercolor mediums. Solo Exhibition at Abington Art Center, January-Februrary, 2024
Micorrhizal Rust Prints 2021-2023
Monotype rust prints informed by my fascination with the micorrhizal network. Created with steel wire & wool and embellished with graphite and watercolor mediums.
Over/Understory 2019-2020
Created during a print residency at Cheltenham Center for the Arts. Several prints also contain augmented reality using the Artivive app.
Apart:Together 2018-2020
Multilayer Monotype Prints. Some of these prints utilize cutouts over a second backer of Black 3.0, an acrylic paint that absorbs up to 99% of visible light creating the illusion of greater depth.
Art in the Time of Corona 2020
Monotype and rust prints with occasional goldleaf over cutouts using Black 2.0.
There are real reasons why. Because I’m stuck here. Because I can’t work as normal. Because I have to do something. So I take what I have and I cut.
I seek to remove : I remove to seek.
Small Monoprint series
7″ x 10″ layered monoprints. Connections are the ripples we make. They move outward in an ever-expanding, interconnected tapestry.
Large Monotype series
Full sheet (43″ x 30″), and half sheet prints – My mortality, my ancestors, and a deep connection to our shared past, are all explored in this work. The spontaneous yet corrosive properties of rust, along with a rare cache of 19th century family photos, capture the disintegration of life, family line and traditional feminine place.
Indigo/Rust Series
This work snuck up on me in a quiet moment of reflection. These prints might be cloaked in tragic blue Caravaggio shadows, open circled in the universal symbol for incompleteness, climbing allegorical hills, sinking from ubiquitous dilemma or rising to a lust for hopeful times.
Rust, Graphite & Collograph
Handwoven steel wire vessels create many of the rust prints in this series.
