In order to combine the raw expression of monotype and oil inks, pentemente of drawings, jagged outlines of collage, and the textured feeling of wax and oil washes, I seek surfaces where I can manipulate images, push inks, and scratch with charcoal. I need to feel my options are open. Work is about the process and seeing in a new way. No piece is precious; all can be drawn over, made better by finding something new to add or take away. Horseback riding excursions in the Scottish and Icelandic interiors brought new views of the world—landscapes created by volcanic eruptions and melting glaciers were living collages with dramatic edges between rock and greenery. The shifting of tectonic plates bent and pushed through the earth’s surface; bending, cracking, and pushing mountains further upward. There was a sense of powerlessness against these forces that created awe in a way that only allowed me to add to the silence of the terrain. This admiration for the grandeur of natural elements now informs my work. Experimenting with abstract and representational elements allows me to capture the emotional character of the places that I come to know, be it the coast of Long Island at low tide, or humbling mountain ranges discovering in my travels.
