For over 30 years, I have been practicing printmaking: I completed several bodies of work in silkscreen and monotypes and, most recently, my focus has been on woodcuts. My works are based on my original drawings and also on photos that I treat in a very graphic way to create one of a kind or print editions. I enjoy exploring how different papers and color combinations can create very different prints based on the same matrix.
