a little about me |
|
I was raised in the small town of Chehalis Washington, surrounded by rural life and an incredibly supportive family. Both of which I am constantly inspired by. Nature and wide open spaces inspire my art and are often the subject of it, and my family is the reason that I am able to follow my passions so whole-heartedly.
I began as a graphic designer when I made the leap from a major in business to one in Art & Design as a sophomore completing my undergraduate degree at PLU. I soon discovered within the art department a hidden gem: the world of printmaking and letterpress printing. A "dying" art that ironically filled me with more life and passion than I had ever felt before. Each aspect of the process requires a lot of time and patience - the typesetting, the carving, the printing itself - but the end result is a tangible piece of art, formed by several unique parts that have been brought together in a cohesive way by my own two hands. The process is what makes the art all the morefulfilling to create. |
