"In my prints, which are mainly aquatints and monotypes, I try to produce images of coloristic richness and complexity. I am intrigued by the emotional power of color and by the interaction between colors. I work interchangeably with hard and soft edges, and what happens in the transitional areas fascinates me. I am also interested in the forward and backward pull between the colors. Some areas retreat, and others press forward, yet the image stays on one plane. The tension in the ‘push and pull’ makes the work breathe.

To me, my work often evokes windows, entrances, or exits. I try to convey the sense of mystery I feel when I work.

I am also deeply concerned with the effect of light, and the light usually emerges from behind the darkness of the larger forms."
