Much of my work, if not all of it, in some way is about memory and autobiography; creating a present from the fragments of the past.  The dreamlike qualities of my manipulated image making has much to do with my history and the accumulated scavenging of images from family sources, as well as the anonymous details of obscure pictures.  My prints and mixed media pieces have their basis in printmaking processes, with screen printing being the soul of the work.  As a master printer in the field and working with many artists in the production of their prints for over 38 years, I continue to be inspired and fascinated with the endless possibilities of this most versatile of all the print techniques.
