Woodcut and Linocut Prints
Original and Handmade in my California Central Coast Studio
My prints are inspired by our beautiful coastal landscape and by my love for colors and texture. I carve wood blocks and linoleum blocks, and I print from them by hand, with professional grade inks on selected artist grade paper. Each print is part of a small edition and is titled, signed, and numbered by me.

Learn more about one of my favorite process: Printing with chine-colle. This is a method where colored pieces of paper are added to the inked block before pressing. Colored paper and background paper are printed all at once with the same pressure, resulting in a cohesive and beautiful finish.
