My printmaking practice is rooted in discovery. Each impression I pull from carved linoleum, etched or incised copper, and wood is an act of revelation that captures both intention and chance. Most of my subject matter explores the natural world around the spaces I inhabit. I love the conversation between what I plan and what the medium insists upon and the physicality of the process: the resistance of the carving tool against the matrix, the careful selection of ink, the calculated pressure of the press, and that final moment when I lift the paper to see what has emerged. Every print carries the evidence of the process--the grain of the wood, the bite of acid, or the pooling of ink in unexpected places, which are not marks of imperfections but are instead collaborations with materials that have their own voice. In embracing printmaking's inherent unpredictability, I've found a practice that keeps teaching me to balance vision with openness, technique with trust. This is what keeps me returning to the studio. As cofounder of Triangle Printmakers Collective, I've found that printmaking's magic multiplies when shared. The studio is a space where artists at all levels can experience that same thrill of discovery.
