Artist Statement: Currently I am working with assemblages from monotypes, etchings, lithography, and relief prints. Each method provides a unique mark that I integrate through college into an abstraction. The images are contemplations of the paradoxical ways chronic pain is manifested, and an attempt to find empathy for my own adversarial body.
