Creative Process
Growing up in a family with scientists, I was fascinated by the scientific illustrations in their books and was inspired to learn highly technical skills in drawing. I started my career making botanical illustrations because of this interest. I am committed to continuing my professional growth and challenge myself to try techniques and subjects I have not explored before.
Artistic Vision
My artistic vision is always focused on realism, especially in my drawings and paintings. Within the genre of woodcuts I strive for a painterly realism. I approach each print as a unique work. I have developed a personal printmaking style often intersecting printing and painting techniques.
Current Direction of work
I love the challenge of a complex subject and this is reflected in my current work. I draw and paint either from life or my own photographs. My work is entirely my own.
