My interest in monotype developed in 1992 when I was awarded an Eldon Boyd fellowship from Crane school to study printmaking at the Graphics Workshop in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There I spent a month working with Ron Pokrasso and exploring monotype. My monotypes are concerned with nature and abstraction. Many of my prints include letterforms, reflecting my interest in calligraphy.

The adult education classes that I have taken over the years have been a source of both inspiration and skill building. Of particular importance has been my time in Rose Margaret Braiden's classes where I learned to love the transparency and fluidity of watercolor and to appreciate its long history. My watercolors reflect my fascination with color and the beauty of the natural world.
