I am a printmaker that loves the ancient art of block printing. My blocks are hand carved in wood planks or linoleum, and printed entirely by hand. Art is a lifelong passion, I have loved to draw since I was 2 years old – I have been making block prints for over 5 decades. For me there is nothing like the thrill of pulling the first print from a block that takes weeks or even months to carve. My short-run editions use vibrant colors often blended on the block for a unique result.
