About the Artist
I'm a Painter and Printmaker working in upstate New York. Painted works are primarily oil on canvas or panel. The body of printed work includes copperplate Intaglio prints (etching, drypoint etc.) and Relief or Letterpress (woodcut, wood engraving, handset type and letterpress variants.)
The painting and printmaking studios are a multi decade creation providing a facility for the craft of art to flourish. The studio space can host a complex project or a spontaneous work session with another artist. Having learned woodworking and design early on and making that my "day job" by 1980, the studio plays "laboratory" to art creation work.
I use both printmaking and painting to record simple observations as well as to embark on more complex artistic and aesthetic investigations. Paintings can inspire a print project and printmaking can be be a catalyst for a painting series.
