Artist Statement “Since I can remember, I have been fascinated by creating new things and exploring materials. I enjoy traditional crafts. That's why I love woodcuts and linocuts. Usually my inspiration and ideas come from the abstract to the real, from life around me, from nature or from graphic forms. Everything inspires me in one way or another. In addition to my passion for woodcut and linocut, I also enjoy other different techniques such as etching, drypoint, and lithography. Currently, I have expanded my printmaking practice to create a new body of work in cyanotype, using primarily botanical elements on fabric, and on Western and Japanese papers.” Award 1st Prize: Press Gang 25 Printmaking Exhibition, Gallery of Mississauga, Canada - 2007.
