| About the Artist: |
I've been at making woodcut prints that span some 5o years. I needed to take a long leave of this pursuit in the late 60s to support my family, but since retiring in 2000 from my job as a graphic designer, I've renewed printmaking. I've always had a keen interest in American art, and in defining that durable quality that we all can connect with. From something that is very "everyday" to something more fleeting, I hope to make visual images that offer an iconic connection and to push the limits of wood grain.
The very nature of wood, with its grain and a certain resistance to a sharp cutting tool has a lot of influence on how and image is made. Wood imposes its limitations and you must adapt and use those limitations to realize your vision. Prints also has an appeal for broad distribution and availability to many people of modest means. Fine art prints is a way for people to have an original piece of work.
