I work in several art forms but printmaking
and photography are the primary media through which I express
my concepts. All of the processes I use require extensive
hands-on involvement from conception to completion. I believe
this increases the unique and personal quality of each piece.
Photography: I have always explored alternative
and nontraditional photographic processes. The photograph
shown here is from a continuing series that began over 15
years ago. It is a whimsical look at vanishing Americana.
Each original scene is enlarged as a black and white negative
to which I then hand apply color. The photograph I print from
this negative is called a chromogenic print which means it
was produced by darkroom, rather than digital, techniques.
The colors are vivid and surreal, like fond memories.
Printmaking: All of my prints are original
and hand pulled in small editions. I use traditional and photographic
intaglio processes as well as collagraph, relief, and monoprinting
techniques.
Mixed media: Copper, enamel, solder, plastic,
wood, resin, and found objects make up a partial list of materials
I have used, sometimes in combination with photographic and
collage elements. Subject matter varies but often incorporates
symbolic or mythical imagery, encouraging the viewer to make
interpretations on a personal level.
Price range: $150 to $1600.
BEGINNING ON 2/1/2010 I WILL BE ON A YEAR
LONG LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM THE FACTORY. INFORMATION AND SAMPLES
OF MY WORK WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE IN MY STUDIO. I CAN ALSO
BE REACHED BY EMAIL OR PHONE (SEE ABOVE).
