Artist Statement

I am a printmaker and an oil painter. I grew up on a farm in the Boise Valley, My imagery comes from the flowers I grow and the people I know and love. In the last few years, I have been drawing birds here locally as well as birds that are on the endangered species lists. Also, I've been drawing outdoor scenes, like kayaking, biking, canoeing, fishing. Some of these scenes are on Colter's Creek wine labels.

My technique for hand-painted linocuts is simple: I cut out the linoleum, print the raised image onto Strathmore paper, and then color with watercolors. Each print is unique and one-of-a-kind.

My art can be seen at Art Source Gallery in Boise, the Black Cypress in Pullman, WA., Gritman Hospital in Moscow, ID., Dahman's Barn in Uniontown, WA., and on artfinder.com.
