Four Midwestern songbirds rendered in colored pencils on an inked collagraph background. The birds in the four corners can be separated into a quadtik. The stock is BFK Rives.

The world is a magnificently complex mixture of color, light, textures and shapes! Look closely at what's around you and you'll see a universe of inspiration. Every day you'll find something new to stimulate your imagination.

Via my monoprints and collagraphs - I make people see things they might not otherwise see when looking at the world around them. When viewing my work, you'll see an enhanced reality - tones, hues and shadows that prompt you to go beyond your existing perspective.

Animals, insects, the outdoors and whimsical cityscapes are my primary subjects. They express freedom and attachment to our surroundings that are too often hidden inside.

I take a non-traditional approach to my subject matter by combining printmaking techniques with the craftsmanship of pencil and ink renderings. The results are works filled with vibrant colors and unique textures.
