Putting words and pictures together in meaningful ways has been the work of most of my life - throughout my education in fine art at UW-Madison, employment in graphic design, commercial print management and public relations.

I had the good fortune to learn intaglio printing in the 60s at UW-Madison under Warrington Colescott and in 1997 returned to full-time fine printmaking under Christine Style at UW-Green Bay to explore intaglio, woodcuts and digital imagery.

I work out of my print studio at Main Street Art Works in HIlbert, Wisconsin.

Many of my prints are inspired by star maps and sky phenomena. I try to capture some of the human drama from Greek mythology that is imbedded in the naming and configuration of the constellations.

My woodcuts begin as ink drawings. I scan them, manipulate the images by computer, and transfer them to birch plywood. The drawing is then cut with traditional woodcut as well as electric tools. The blocks are inked traditionally and printed on my etching press.

Recently, I took the process one step further and began to turn my retired wood plates into cubes and sculptural forms. Each one bears a rich history of the images, the marks of the tools and even the inks themselves. Still a further step was to cut the blocks with the sculpture in mind, completely bypassing the print process. This resulted in ?Truth and Interpretation? a construction that incorporates ink drawings on woodcut blocks, split log, resin castings, and a purchased plumb bob.
