Newest Works
Dancing Bird #1
These intaglio collages are a recent evolution step from my lifelong interest in printmaking. As a child I carved images into potatoes, sponges, cardboard, and linoleum then hand pressed their ink-covered surfaces onto paper. Later I printed with plexiglass, stone, zinc, copper, silkscreen, and added the tools of etching press and computer. These primitive-to-technical processes reproduce forms, almost magically evoking ideas, concepts, and emotions.

PRINTS: Editioned Suites
 Cave Drawings

- This suite explores the notion of pre-verbal depiction of seasons, geological landmarks, vital resources, and other important concepts.
|
 Oaxaca Suite
|
- I carried etching plates around Oaxaca, Mexico, drawing impressions of a hypnotic, elementally beautiful perspective of life.

 Serial state etchings
|
- Traditionally, etchings progress through several states until the “finish” image. These suites explore the notion of each state as complete in itself.
|
 Kiwi Trail Markers
