From the Artist

I print directly in generally emotive, only slightlypre-planned sequence with the artistic expectation of directly evolving the proof to wherever it needs to go. Many colors and stages later, a finished limited edition emerges. Artmaking has paralleled my classroom teaching and administrating at the University of the Arts [Philadelphia], while each path has enhanced the other…Often, I just start, and just keep building it until I feel comfortable with it.

Artwork should be judged on what it presents to the individual viewer. How it is done, or by whom, is of secondary importance...I maintain the message offered by a particular piece of art depends entirely upon the viewer. If the work is too predictable, that’s not good.
