Welcome to my website! “The first time I pulled a squeegee across a screen was an ‘Aha!’ moment for me and
​ I have been printing ever since.”

"I've made hundreds of sketches during my years of living, traveling, and teaching in Europe and Asia and often return to those sketches for inspiration. I also find subject matter in the changing seasons in North Carolina.
Each print is made from a stencil inspired by an original drawing
​and is hand cut or painted by hand on the screen.
