Artist Statement:
"My paintings, drawings, and book works utilize permanent ink and locally sourced water. Regardless of the medium, my practice explores and catalogs time, weather, and the subtle and botanical impact of the elements in our material world…I have long relied on water-based media such as ink…as it is as ancient as humanity and as current as the trendiest tattoo."

Minor spotting to the backing and edges of the sheet; light creasing at the edges of the sheet; not examined outside the frame.
