I graduated from the University of Washington in 2003 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking, a Bachelor of Arts in Art History, and another Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts.Moving swiftly without destination I ended up in Philadelphia for a spell. Losing everything, and nothing at all, I left making a quick detour at Kala Institute in the East Bay. Forever running out of money I moved north to Portland, where I make my existence.

In November 2005, I became the Assistant Director of Bite Studio, a small Printmaking collective and gallery. Although my love is with all the printmaking methods, it is here that I found my current focus. Using the same imagery that I have been working with since I was a child, I have found that the method of reductive woodcuts suits my tastes and my aspirations.

What is with these squiggles? It is what I know. Every form is drawn in competition with the previous and the latter, matching negative space against form to try and reconstruct itself as something familiar, yet unknown and untested. Figures emerge, seemingly from the genesis of emotion and chance. My work is a collaboration with the audience, because I wish to hold secret what it is that I see after I start drawing. The importance of our ritual is that we somehow become closer as we share a vision into nothing at all.
