Print Gallery

While I have some pieces that are monoprints, the vast majority of the pieces I make use registration. This is my preferred way of printing as it allows me to make editions of my prints. Types of print making that I use with registration include woodblock (Western and Mokuhanga styles), Linocuts, and Screen Print.

Spotlight Pieces

Texture Test

This Piece is a variable edition Mokuhanga piece, meaning that strict registration was not used. Both sides of this woodblock where used to experiment with mark making, the pink layer is random marks while the black layer was traced brush stroked for an exercise in carving and printing details.

Misty Morning

This is a 2 block Western Style woodblock print that was made with a watercolor I made a few years prior. That painting was an exercise in layering, which is an idea that transferred to the blocks beautifully. Every time I printed another layer I added a modifier color to the initial light lavender color. This plus the layering on top of each other created a gradient from gray lavender to a much more vibrant purple in the foreground.

Alone Together

I used a lot of symbolism in this print. Purple Dandelions are the official flower of Military Children. The nature of a dandelion is that it is always on the move, taking root only to be blown in another direction. Much like a military child’s life, we settle down just to be torn from what we build and thrown into a new environment at the drop of a hat. This piece is about my siblings and myself, even if we were taken from our friends we always had each other.
