I began experimenting with printmaking as a way to study color and forms for use in my paintings. I was immediately taken in by the techniques and processes, and by the ways that serigraphs and monographs are like and unlike paintings.

At this point, printmaking has become a central portion of my process, which taken as a whole crosses multiple media. I cut hardboard to silhouettes, use these silhouettes as wood-blocks for relief-printing, and then as the foundations for oil-paintings. I can then hang the prints and the painted block from which they were made together as a diptych, or simply consider the different works as various explorations of the same source imagery.
