"I work with material that I have gathered through photography for a point of reference, however, my work is not intended to be a literal interpretation. It is a translation of what is seen through the mind and eyes of an artist. My work is a result of the many things that interest me and it changes as I discover new visual interests. It is a result of a combination of things from Medieval Art (Books of Hours), the Decorative Arts Movement, ancient civilizations and the country environment in which I live. I like the concept of taking simple scenes that might be observed every day and moving them to a more exalted place through the use of borders and framework.

The framework has changed over the years into a use of naturalistic forms in a decorative way involving plant life and animals that reflect upon the central image. I have chosen the medium of Printmaking because I like the concept of multiples as well as the effects that one can achieve only through Intaglio work. I am especially fond of the textures and effects of the aquatinted areas. The fusion of painting concepts with the Printmaking process is very stimulating to me."
