2009 Art Journal (Video)

My journaling consists mostly of a visual and a piece of writing on opposite pages. I recently took the images and the writings for 2009 and, IT person that I am, created a power point slide show. It's on my YouTube page in video form set to music at this link:

Chunky Lily woodcut (2010)


In my printmaking class over the winter, I tried my hand at a woodcut, basing it on a brush and ink drawing I made last summer. These are hand-made prints of it on rice paper.

I took a brief printmaking class this winter and had fun learning linoleum and woodcutting. These are press-made prints on BFK Reves paper from a linoleum cut based on a drawing of mine by the same name.
