Hi, welcome to my art site! I hand-draw, carve and print all the images you see here. They are original works. After several decades as a graphic designer working in many of Vancouver, BC's top firms I stumbled upon printmaking during a winter trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. I promptly enrolled in a Spanish-speaking 'taller' or studio where, not only did I quickly improve my Spanish language skills, I spent an accumulative several years studying traditional printmaking where I did linocuts, metal etching, ink mixing, and hand-printing alongside Mexican artists of all ages. It was wonderful formative experience and I am full of gratitude for the generosity of the country and it's people for sharing such knowledge and skills. Back in Canada I create my linocut and metal etchings, participate in juried and group shows and share my work as greeting cards, prints, totes, t-shirts or on whatever substrate that can be printed. Find me at the Mayne Island Farmers' Markets in summer (weather permitting) and the Art Gallery Paint-in in Victoria, BC every July.
My art cards and prints are also available online, please shoot me an email to inquire. Thank-you!
