Most of my linocuts begin with a photograph I've taken of something that caught my attention. From that photograph, I create a drawing, transfer it to a linoleum block, and begin carving.

Once the block is carved, I make a test print and begin experimenting with color, one of my favorite parts of the process.
I mix my inks by hand and roll a smooth layer of color onto the carved block with a brayer.

I print each piece by hand in my home studio. For years I used a Japanese bamboo baren and a wooden spoon to transfer
the image to paper. Today, I also print using an old mangle washing press that I've converted into a printing press.

Because each print is inked and printed individually, small variations naturally occur from one impression to another.
Those differences are part of the process and give each print its own character.
