Brief Portfolio of My Work

Black Death

Tried my hand at plate lithography this past summer. Lithographers sure do like their solvents! This tribute to the European plague looked better on the plate than the paper.

Lionfish Head Study

Here is possibly the last Linocut print I'll ever do. It's an interesting process, registration is a bit of an issue, but my heart belongs to copperplate etching and wood engraving.

Lionfish are considered an invasive species, and have been spotted as far north in the Atlantic as the Cape Cod islands.

Andrew Wyeth Passes

I am saddened today by the news of the passing of Andrew Wyeth. Representing the second generation of the Wyeth dynasty of American art, his work helped to bring realism back into focus. Perhaps best known for his piece, Christina's World, I am particularly fond of a image of another one of his Maine models, Siri. His particular brand of realism, use of negative space, and lighting come together well in this painting.

I am sure I cannot claim him as an influence, but most certainly an inspiration.
