An artist printmaker and poet, my work is a response to the fact that what we see, what we say, and what we feel, changes in the moment of its appearance. Its memory becomes us. Looking at things is an archaeology of sorts. The sea is a constant in my work. I am drawn to it by its borderlessness, by its reshaping of itself, by the possibilities that it affords. Islands appeal for the opposite reason. They are holding places, retreats, and havens. My prints and my poems are themselves islands of sorts: points of capture but also points of departure.
