I had the wonderful experience of participating in the 2008 City Wide Open Studios (CWOS) event in New Haven this past October 3-5, thanks to the encouragement of my friend Thea Ernest.
I make art for fun and self-expression. I work in monotypes/monoprints, collage and painting, most recently small works on paper. I find the serendipity of printmaking, the order-from-chaos nature of collage, and the free-form, unfettered nature of abstraction both challenging and satisfying. In addition, I occasionally explore the self-portrait. Once I got over the discomfort of looking closely at my own image, I came to enjoy the process, and find wonder in the range of characters that emerge.
