Like light coming through the leaves of a palm tree, this is a handmade print created in my studio. I work to create an image on acetate film, which is then transferred to paper under the pressure of my etching press.

Artist Statement
"I have always been interested in art and technology, and the relationship between art, science, and mathematics. In the past, I began studies directly from nature, and today I have added a landscape of forms that are based in geometry. When I put together a new composition, I often treat it like building a collage of different elements, or like a recipe—I add a little of this or that until the work looks right. I am open to the challenge and surprise of the unexpected, and in that way, I can move forward."
