Most of my life has revolved around printing. From working for years in the family printing business, to holding various positions in advertising production at a national magazine and newspaper, to my current gig, I have somehow continued to be involved in a printing process. I guess it must be in my genes.

My work is a culmination of my experiences, travels, education and an appreciation for the little things in life. Inspiration comes easy to me. The spatula in my kitchen drawer. A clump of weeds in my garden (ok, many clumps of weeds). My office stapler. A bird on a telephone wire. Our summer crop of tomatoes. My goal is to transform the ordinary into something aesthetic and distinct.

The use of bold color, pattern, positive/negative space, shape and repetition has helped define my own unique style. My work has a clean, contemporary feel yet is festive and even a bit whimsical.

My lines of paper goods are created from my original designs and are individually hand block printed. Each one is unique. From my drawings, I transfer the design to a rubber-like block which I then carve out to create a relief image. This image is printed directly onto the card stock. I love the process involved in creating the finished product; it is multi-layered therefore offering the opportunity to explore many artistic avenues.
