About the Artist and the Prints ~
I am an Olympia, WA printmaker. My work is inspired by my community and the incredible beauty of the Pacific Northwest. My images are often narrative with the intention of connecting with the viewers, who in turn can find their own stories.
I work mostly in linoleum cut block printing. First, I draw the image on paper, then transfer it to a linoleum block. Then I carve the image creating negative and positives space. Next, I roll the ink on the carved linoleum block, place the paper onto the ink and impress the image by hand with the back of a wooden spoon. I add color by printing colored paper and collaging those pieces onto the initial print. Each piece is unique, and I only make two at a time. These are "handpulled original prints" and are printed on BFK Rives printmaking paper from France.
Many of my images have been produced digitally as CARDS and archival prints. These are now being distributed by BuyOlympia.com.
