My disciplines involve painting and printmaking. The intimacy of process and small scale format of copper plate monoprinting, drypoint and chine colle offer me a media and textural shift to the immediacy of painting as a practice. In 2003, I expanded the studio from a working and teaching space to include a framing business.
