Artist in Residence Update

While getting familiar with couple of teachers and their classrooms I have been working on some painting studies as well as continuing work on a series of tapestry inspired mono-prints. These prints are built using the screen printing process, I intuitively work to compose these minimal compositions with balance in mind as I play with color and shape to develop the compositions. My work is inspired by light and color of nature, compositions reflect broken down or minimized ideas we find in our surroundings.
