Acrobat
20.5 x 19 cm, one linoleum block and one wood block, waterbased inks and oil based inks on KSP (a Brazilian special paper), edition 40. I used to work with multiple blocks at the same time, so the image appears slowly and always there is a change to intervene.

2019 Ornament
7.5 x 10 in, shina plywood, Speedball relief oil on bleached mulberry, edition open. Every year I regret not designing an ornament in time for the December Christmas ornament sale at the gallery. This year I made them early so that I would have time to assemble them. Since printmaking has a long history of providing art to the masses, this seemed a perfect way to make two dozen ornaments. the steeples are from adobe churches in the area.

Hidden
10 x 7.5 in, Corian synthetic resin, Gamblin and Daniel Smith black and umber on Stonehenge cream, edition 100. “Hidden in the glorious wildness like unmined gold” – John Muir. When I first saw the cabin, I felt strangely attracted to the old teetering wooden thing. Maybe because I saw it comfortably hidden, surrounded by overgrown gamble oak, mountain mahogany, and a variety of fir, spruce, and pines. We kept nearly all the trees and the cabin shines in the glorious sun bathing the leaves with light. I used a variety of techniques to achieve a sun-bathed woodland softness, a blotter for backing, grainy paper, and softer ink.

Cousin Kids
10 x 7.5 in, 10 x 12 shina plywood, Yasutomo sumi on hotshot white professional grade, edition 50. I used Hotshot White recommended for oil based ink I used with the water based ink. The images are a bit fuzzy, but I like them.

Ziggurat
10 x 7.5 in, four linoleum blocks, Vanson rubber ink on 300gsm acid free, edition 35. During my days as a student, I was privileged to live in the Ziggurats designed by Denys Lasdun. The first lino print I attempted was a reduction print of one of the Ziggurats. Looking back, it was surprisingly successful but somewhat lacking artistically. This is one of a series of prints I am currently working on using up to five blocks in different arrangements. This print uses four blocks, each printed once. Three of the front of the building in black and one of the back in white.

Rainbow Leaf Beetle
10 x 7.5 in, three shina plywood blocks, Speedball water-based relief ink on Subi, edition 30. I have been working with process cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in printmaking lessons with some of my students and this led me to want to make a multiblock print using those three colors. What better subject than a rainbow leaf beetle (Chrysouna Cerealis)?

Inside & Out
10 x 7.5 in, shina plywood, black relief ink with additional colors on screen printing paper, edition 32.
When inside…
A poem and a print… Enjoy…
My mind wanders…
Out the window…
Glancing up to…
To the sunlight.
My senses kick in…
Joyfully smelling everything…
My hand gently touches…
Patches of green…
My soul follows…
Happily joining me.

Still Life with Guitar
10 x 7.5 in, cherry veneer plywood key block plus four shina plywood color blocks, Holbein and Sennelier watercolors on shin torinoko, edition 50. Based on a watercolor I did in 2005. I decided to use only Prussian blue and yellow… A little washed out and didn’t get enough tonal difference between the color blocks. Also this is the first time I tried cherry veneer key block (it shows)! Looking forward to seeing everyone else’s prints.
