More about serigraphs: each color requires a separate
screen and each screen is hand drawn. paint is transferred through
a fine mesh fabric onto paper. The areas that are not to be printed
are blocked with an impermeable substance and the ink is forced
through the remaining "open areas." The printing is done with
acrylic paint on museum quality 100% cotton rag paper. A printing
can take from two weeks to over a month to complete, and when
these small editions are finished the image can never be repeated.
you haVE SaId that It IS IMPortant to not only PaInt thE SuB-
JECt, But "the air between myself and the subject." what do
you MEan By thIS?
I am really drawn to pattern and color relationships. I use those
elements not only to create something visual but also hopefully, a
little bit of space and time. I want the viewer to feel connected,
like I am connected to the image. Even though my images are not
realistic, they are symbolic of realism. I want to create my own
world on paper and invite you in.
your work SEEMS Both lIght-hEartEd But Profound In SoME
InExPlICaBlE way. aCCESSIBlE In that thErE SEEMS to BE SoME-
thIng MorE. arE you SEndIng a MESSagE through your art?
I don't take myself too seriously, but on the flip side, I take my
craft and artistic vision very seriously. I think my work has a very
celebratory feel to it. A meditative quality, a sense of peacefulness
