My most recent abstract work manipulates the canons of printmaking, painting and drawing systems. These works originated from my desire to create larger monotypes that contained both a deliberate and spontaneous element. Combining geometrical shapes with brush strokes and paint flicks, I contrasted order with chaos. As in all of my work, I discover the final image throughout the process of creating. Intense color, symbolic shapes, and energetic gestures guide me in this process.
