I explore the intersection of printmaking and other media, where layered techniques create rich, multidimensional compositions. Through many years of creative practice, I have developed a deep understanding of traditional printmaking, while continuing to perceive images as a dialogue between process, material, and intuition. Each print contains an element of surprise. Although with experience it has become easier for me to anticipate the results, the moment of revealing the final image still carries a sense of unpredictability. It is precisely this balance between control and chance that makes the process so captivating and a little addictive, almost like a game of risk.
