| bio: |
I'm a printmaker and painter. My oil paintings are often 'plein air' (painted on location) but are sometimes drawn from my memory or imagination. Recently, I've been drawn to painting urban scenes around Portland. Meanwhile, my etchings emerge entirely from my imagination. |

the importance of art: |
"Art lifts the veil off of things. It slows people down, and brings them back to life's deep well. Its our highest interaction with the absurdity and beauty of existence."
