               Through my art I share my impressions of the visual world, using line, color, and texture as a poet uses words.  
I try to convey the beauty, mystery, and occasional irony that I see in everyday life.

Hand-Printed Block Prints

Block printing has been one of my favorite mediums since 1974. I cut or engrave my images onto blocks under magnification, then ink and print my limited editions on an etching press in my studio.

Wood engravings are printed from end-grain wood blocks with black ink.

Reduction cuts are multicolored images printed from a single block.  More of the surface of the block is cut away (reduced) for each color.  Each new color is printed over the previous color.  I use linoleum blocks for all my reduction cuts.


All of my limited editions are printed on Stonehenge heavy-weight white (100% cotton, acid free paper).
