Layers

My abstract compositions grapple with ideas that move away from object-based art. I make work that emerges from spontaneity and improvisation in the composition process. Real objects are transformed into abstractions in the printmaking process, and new forms appear to me. When I look again, I might see another image and come to realize that abstract, spontaneous art allows the breathing space for what eluded my eye when I first began manipulating imagery. Through my exploration of imagery, I seek to invite viewers to bring their own experience to my artwork and inspire questions that drive viewers into their imaginations to make meaning for themselves .
