“I enjoy the marriage of art and craftsmanship in the woodblock printing process, and also the high degree of technical accomplishment required. My work is entirely hand produced with care and attention to materials, processes and the final result using the traditional Japanese printing process. I enjoy experimenting with new ideas, subjects and techniques. You will find a lot of variety in my work.”
Print artist using traditional and contemporary Japanese printmaking processes. Certified teacher of Japanese printmaking technique, available for students or workshops.
