about the artisto|oCreal's portfolio o   artist's statement For the last several years I have been conducting the majority of my visual explorations in the monotype process of printmaking. A monotype, sometimes known as a painterly print, is a one of a kind print. The strength of the monotype process resides both in its grace and immediacy and in that it allows for the quick evolution of a visual idea. During the past few years I have been working to combine the strengths of the process with explorations in mark-marking, gesture and value. Most recently fundamental mathematical concepts as counting, grouping and the arrangement of space have been the formal orchestrating principles within which the play of gesture and mark-making operate, as exemplified by Movement in Fibonacci Sequence (shown at right) and The Three of Diamonds . What I am striving to create are visually arresting images that combine a gestural vitality with a formal elegance.
