Artist Statement: I have begun to explore printing and stencil work, contemplating the cut images of contemporary arts. Layering and arranging the cuts emphasize the messages I hope to convey in my art. I have confronted issues that provoke me everyday. Inspiration comes from those events and personal experiences. Working in rounds or in repetition is therapeutic. The voluminous possibilities of paper, color, cutting, and printing and the resulting layering has inspired me. My schematic arrangements are inviting the viewer to relax and flow with the design and color.
