Spaces In Between
These prints spring from memories of trips taken with my husband and daughters, crossing the country and settling into places where we spend time together, explore, and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
The snapshots I take along the way become reference images for etchings and lithographs. The slow, careful work of creating prints makes me observe more closely. I notice how poppies change in each stage of blooming, find a fish hiding in kelp leaves, and remember nights lying on campground picnic tables with each of our children, watching the stars appear. Experiencing these moments, and remembering that we are each a small part of a whole, reminds me of our universal belonging to our natural home and to each other.
