ARTIST STATEMENT
Asian art has long been a source of inspiration for my work. Elements of Japanese art—such as asymmetrical composition, pattern, and flat color—have heavily influenced my art. The artistic exchange between China and Japan is long-standing, with both cultures drawing extensively from the natural world to convey emotion and meaning. In these prints, I use imagery of plants and landscapes to reflect my responses to nature and to express the emotions I experience while immersed in it.
This exhibition is presented alongside the latest works from Kathryn Baczeski, Christopher Scott Brumfield, & Heather Ryan Kelley.
