About the Work:

“My work is inspired by experiences and life in the Lowcountry, where the issues of life and its transitions are so poignantly felt within the landscape. My interest in art began with photography, but in the 1990’s I returned to the practice of drawing and painting and then expanded into printmaking and book arts. My primary focus in printmaking is woodcuts and wood engravings.”
