I make woodblock prints (Woodcuts) inspired by landscapes, creatures and human enterprises in our world, especially centered in life in Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. It is my way of saying that these things are valuable - they truly matter! As you see them, I hope that you think so too.

Here is my current work in 2026.
"Neighborhood"
After being in Chicago over the holiday I enjoyed life on the city streets.
Raccoon
Here's a real change of pace, turning to paper mache' to create a delightful friend who sits on my apartment table to greet me every day!
"Fruit of the Spirit"
I decided I needed to speak a word to the news of our day, lifting up a different set of values based upon what I've learned from Galatians 5:22-23.
This pair of woodcuts grew out of rather spontaneous drawings and carvings, inspired by some art I saw elsewhere which had no strong lines or contrasts, leading to rather fluid and repetitious figures on my part. I worked on both of these at the same time and they have exactly the same colors, appropriately complementing the land and the waters.
