I make woodblock prints (Woodcuts) inspired by landscapes, creatures and human enterprises in our world, especially centered in life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 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.

These are my work in 2024... a year of changes: moving to Ann Arbor, trying new ways, and buying a printing press!
Movin Blues
My Stand - An experiment with papers and perspective
Something New!! - Foldable Standable Accordion-Style Woodcuts!!
Patterned after small Korean art screens, these folding panels are hard like book covers and fold together, but they also spread to tell a story in a series of subjects.
"Six Days"
This is a story both ancient and contemporary, rooted in the Judeo-Christian stories of ceation so similar to others of that time and region. These six woodcuts tell of the way life evolved, from the beginnings of light and life to human existence, so small among the animals in the immensity of it all. Which is still where we are today: a tiny part of it all with the capacity to conserve or destroy these wonderful gifts.
