Most people are amazed when they see me bicycling down the street, eating a bagel, juggling my Roycroft Mark and applying eyeliner, all at he same time, that is. They seem even more surprised when I tell them I write and illustrate my own stories. Sometimes, I illustrate stories that haven’t been written yet!
The images on this website were all created in my imagination and drawn on copper or zinc plates. They are inked with oil based inks and hand printed. Only one image per inking is created. I have drawn and written stories since I was 5 years old, but I was too attached to my artistic creations to ever part with them. Etching metal plates enables me to make multiple prints that are all originals. The etched plate is truly a labor of love and a medium that provides the texture and mysterious compliment to my poems, personal anecdotes and creative musings.
