Mission San Antonio
Hand-pulled from a large woodblock, the traditional single block print highlights this preserved gem located just outside Fort Hunter Leggitt
Zoe
My cats are always popular - these are colorful and creative!
Baja Desert River
Inspired by a long, hot drive to Baja a couple years ago. This hand-pulled hand-colored woodblock print shows there is live in the desert.
Tembladero Slough
Featured in the 2011 exhibit on the Slough at the National Steinbeck Museum - this gives you a glimpse of this overlooked watercourse in the Monterey Bay Area.
Passions
Passion pushes the color limits of printmaking in ink and paper.
2019 finds us in Virginia! Back in the US - Colonial and Civil War History - nature even in our new backyard!
New Happenings
My new home and studio is set in a 3.1 acre park-like setting in Northern Virginia. Fox, deer, cardinals and many other animals are daily visitors. I am just a 5 minute walk from the Occoquan river and the quaint villiage of Occoquan.
Woodblocks
The heart of every relief print is the block. Click on the photo to the right to see a high res image of the San Antonio Bell block in the process of carving. The 3 Hr description shows the portion of the block that it took me 3 hours to carve. All my prints are personally hand pulled in very limited editions.
