Artist Statement
The most important element in my work is texture. I am fascinated with
textures as they occur in nature and try to reflect them in my work.
I have found that Handmade Paper is the one medium that can be manipulated
to capture and imitate natural forms. By incorporating natural elements and
organic materials into my paper, I can manipulate reality. By this, I
mean create an image that appears natural in texture, but purely man-made
in color and form. I feel most successful with my work if it evokes
some question as to what it's really made of.
