ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I have been a member of the Peregrine Press since January of 1998. The Peregrine Press is an incredible community of diverse artists where there is a space for shared creativity and exploration in non-traditional printmaking. As primarily a painter, one of the first things I noted when I joined the Press was that most members were also non-traditional printmakers. Artists at the Press are open to share with each other yet also respect privacy and honor each others unique techniques. There is a sense of safe community here as well as nurture.
Peregrine has also held great personal importance for me. It has provided me with a very consistent place to work, consistent artists to interact with, and consistent schedule of events during an inconsistent time in my life.
At the Press, we know each other first—and sometimes only—as artists. We respect each other and are respected back. Only our art matters. Magic. Mystery.
