Sometime in the 1990's, browsing art shops, I bought a linoleum block and some basic carving tools, and began to experiment with block printing. At my first "aha!" moment, when I peeled the paper off the block and saw my image transferred onto paper, I began to fall in love with printing, and kept it up off and on as a hobby for quite a few years. In 2017 I became a student of Seattle wood engraver and letterpress master Carl Montford. I've acquired an interest in letterpress printing, producing broadsides -- text and images -- like the one you can see below with other examples of my work in wood engraving and linocut.
