			nature walk, oil on paper				nature walk series
					This project interweaves real and imaginary walks in nature and faraway places. As summer draws nearer with more daylight hours for activities, I begin to map out trips to secluded forests and beaches. Paintings are graphed out in storyboard fashion with each scene a vignette of a collected artifact or a visual memory, which will take place during the walk.

			block prints
wheat wheat depicts a Japanese influenced field animated as the wind blows the grass in the field						Block prints Since childhood I have arranged and organized space into balanced geometric images. Drawings of my designs include geometric and symmetrical images, a way of organizing space. These prints are influenced by Japanese, Art Nouveau, Celtic art, or geometric images and from many hours of drawing. Print designs are first drawn on paper, next transferred and carved onto a special carving block, and hand inked onto paper.
