The woodblock print is an art form that began in antiquity. After experimenting with other media, my deep appreciation for carving wood and printmaking in general, led me to the wood cut as a means of expression.

The design is transferred to a block of wood that is then carved. When the carving is completed, the block is inked, the paper is applied and it is pulled through a press. Each original print is colored by hand.
