As a lifelong observer of the natural world, time spent outside conveys itself in my first language, making art. The organic world can be viewed as individual entities or larger components of nature such as the seasons or angles of light. The distillation of this influence channeled through inherent design problems allows the pieces to evolve in their own organic sense. This creates works that are an extension, not only an expression, of the natural world. The flatness of the gravure method mirrors the strength of the sun in the South West and its ability to devise shadows; whereas the cut out designs are charged with the dynamic weather elements known to this region. Balancing this design angle, the etching process contains an intimacy which reaches back to a deep affinity with the subject matter capturing nuances of fauna personality.
