My monoprints have layers of transparent veils of color as background for calligraphy and bird forms. Each layer often brings a welcome departure from my initial intention. The printing process helps to create happy surprises - the magic of printmaking. I'm always excited by a two-dimensional surface is disrupted by a single brushstroke which causes a visceral sensation of three dimensions. I explore this phenomenon using calligraphic marks to achieve it.
