Artist's Statement

"I tell stories. Some people keep journals. Some keep blogs. I do neither, but to know what is happening in my life all one has to do is look at my work. My work is autobiographical. It’s true. At the same time I am hoping that it is a metaphor for the viewers’ story too, or provides the symbols for the viewer to make a story. Printmaking distills those symbols for me."

"Art is a Spiritual Journey."
