Art Prints

Bookbinding is my passion, and printmaking is my obsession. I am constantly challenging the limits of detail that I can achieve by carving into linoleum. I pull each print one at a time on antique presses and print on archival paper using offset lithography inks and colorfast pigments.

"Windblown Hummer" - Ruby-throated Hummingbird

$30.00

Birdwatching can be a magical experience. As an avid birdwatcher I enjoy identifying, photographing, feeding, and researching all of the birds that frequent my backyard.

The "Windblown Hummer" is from my "Backyard Birds" series. Each is letterpress printed on an antique Chandler and Price Old Style platen press from 4 hand-carved linoleum blocks. They are printed on Mohawk Superfine 70lb. natural cover. The edition size of each print is 110 and each print will be signed and numbered. The printed area measures 4 inches by 4 inches on paper measuring 6 inches by 9 inches. 

The "Backyard Birds" series is ongoing and currently includes 5 birds:

Nashville Warbler
Puffy Goldfinch
Wet Robin
Hungry Nuthatch
Windblown Hummer
