Description of Work: I create hand-pulled prints on a hand-turned printing press experimenting with monoprints, collagraphs, woodcuts and solarplate etchings. Each design is either carved in a block, painted on plexi-glass, etched on a metal plate or constructed out of recycled materials. I am an European trained printmaker with an American Folk Art sensibility. Vivid in color, and rich in story, my work conveys a childlike whimsy and wonder at our magical world. My adventures and the stimuli of children, travel, music, foreign cultures and the natural world inform my life’s work as an artist.
