Most of my time I spend trying to create (or find) order, connection or purpose in my surroundings. It should be no surprise to me that in my paintings the same thing happens. For me, art is a visual expression of an emotional connection to something, whether it is a landscape, a single flower, or a thought. Every piece tells a story and it’s wonderful if my story touches the soul of the viewer too.

Monoprint Workshop with Mina Tang Kan

This image was created at a monoprint workshop at Cochise College in Sierra Vista. The instructor was Mina Tang Kan who owns Tang Gallery in Bisbee. We put oil paints and inks on plexiglass and used their printing press to transfer the images to paper. I learned about embossing texture, ghost prints (second printings) and a fun way to use regular glue to make designs.

Were I called on to define very briefly the term art, I should call it "the reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul." Edgar Allen Poe
