My woodcut prints are an expression of a passion for the Northwest landscape and its flora & fauna. I am interested in creating prints that celebrate the detail, form, patterns, and spirit of our wildlife and landscape.

I use primarily the Japanese woodcut tradition of Moku Hanga (literally "Wood Printmaking"); these methods use great deal of craft and depend on simple, elegant, and exacting tools. I enjoy its ability to render detail, how it exists at an intersection of watercolor painting and printmaking, the sustainability of its materials, and its rich history depicting the natural world.
