Abstract
The artist's statement: First and foremost, I am a painter. However, during my studies at CSU I discovered printmaking, which has become a passion for me, as well. Painting and printmaking utilize completely different processes in their execution, but my love for both mediums has led me to discover new and unique ways of approaching each of them individually. As a native of Minnesota and its 10,000 lakes, I have a natural love for water and the many artistic elements that water can take on. I incorporated aspects of this in my earlier work, which included the process of pouring paint. By utilizing the pouring paint process, I found I achieved an organic nature through this approach that I found appealing. As I learned the art of printmaking, I combined two contrasting interests into my work. I combined my interest in organic shape with my love for geometric line and patterns. I incorporated these two diverse concepts into both my painting and printmaking.
