Artist's Statement…
While growing up the the "art colony" of Laguna Beach, California, I was exposed to the world of art at a very early age. Both my parents were involved with the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts and my mother,Joyce Clark, who still shows her work at the Village Galleries on Maui,
Hawaii, was one of the very earliest exhibitors there. I spent every summer practically living at the Festival for all of my formative years.

I have attended many workshops and seminars and countless college art courses all over the western states. I consider myself to be a multi-media artist and I take a fairly experimental approach to my painting/printmaking. The imagery straddles the line between a little representational and a lot abstraction. I usually begin my
paintings by making a monotype print. A ‘monotype’ is a singular (one-of-a-kind) image that I make by painting on a square of plexiglass with Litho inks, then I roll this through an etching press that then transfers the image from the glass onto a heavy piece of printmaking paper (BFK or M. Pechia). I then take that image and rework it further by drawing, painting, or collaging on top of the original monotype.

My paintings/prints have been in shows in Los Angeles, SanFrancisco, Orange, and San Diego, as well as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona, and Hawaii. Currently my work is being represented
and shown in the Fallbrook Art Center and the Book Nook Gallery in Fallbrook, CA., the Freed Gallery in Lincoln City, Oregon, the When and the Grapes Galleries in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, and the Village Gallery Contemporary in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.
