Trained as a painter and printmaker, I found myself drawn to the metal etched plate rather than the resulting print on paper. With time, I began working with metals, becoming increasingly excited by the painterly possibilities inherent in enamels. I envision enameling as “Nature in a crucible”. Using fire, molten glass, and metal, often on etched, abraded or scorched surfaces, I use the process of enameling itself to examine themes of the cataclysmic forces of Nature, experiencing its danger, unpredictability, and excitement, while at the same time exploring its inherent beauty.
