I came relatively recently
to printmaking, through drawing, after years
as a mother and attorney. My art does not
capture the images of my previous life, although
my past informs the subjects I choose. I examine
the world through a figurative viewfinder
and place my images close to the plane of
the print; I then translate the image into
a pattern that dances through the entire frame.
For subjects, I look to my family and other
things that are meaningful to me. I also recycle
ideas that may have been part of other drawings
or pictures. I strive to create visually pleasing
images that evoke an emotional response.
I chose to learn printmaking because I was
enchanted with the idea of making multiple
copies of the same picture. For me, the process
of creating the plate, inking the image and
pulling the print are as important as the
finished product. My favorite medium is linoleum.
As I cut away the linoleum, I release the
picture. I try to recreate that process with
each print I make.
