 |  | Biography |  | I do not think that i ever had the choice to be anything but an artist no matter how much i tryed to make that not true. Now that i have accepted that i know that it is who i am. I have a need to create and show others how i see things. |  |  |  | Statement |  | The reason i like printmaking more then other forms of art that i do, is that you are always working with or around other people. You are not working alone and so you must be social(allthough you can choose not to interact with others). I have found in general that printmakers are more social people to begin with. Unlike in Painting or Drawing (wich i love to do too) where you can choose not to interact with others. I believe that interaction with other creative minds helps me to become a better artist. That is why i like printmaking, it's not just the medium that i like, its the people too. |  |  |  | Exhibitions |  | 15-plate intaglio art book in special collection at the University of California Santa Cruz, McHenry Library. |  |  |  |
