As the artist states… “My work explores and investigates the relationship of archetypal forms and structures present when man intersects with the land. I continue to focus on two areas of investigation, one, my continuing interest in western civilization and its layers of history and two, the Okanagan Valley where I reside.
I use my etching press as my primary tool for making my prints whether they are monoprints or intaglio based”.
