Artist Statement
"My field of interest is printmaking. I have been a member of the Boston Printmakers for thirty years and currently serve as secretary on the executive board. I am a regular contributor to the newsletter and an active participant in the organization. I began my professional career as an artist- printer, concerned with establishing a link between the historical characteristics of the practice and the way it impacts socio-political themes. Printmaking has been an important tool for supporting democratic foundations within the modern society.
"The print continues to be used by artists in a variety of ways to influence the flow of information-an important feature of the process that allows it to morph and change with the times. The immediacy of the process often leads artists to focus on the prints ability to influence public thought."
