Profile
I learned letterpress printing in 2020, after 30 years of working with digital and photo type as a commercial designer. On press, my work is an expressive collision of type, color, and image, borrowing techniques from both my graphic design work and my concurrent practice as an abstract painter. In the work, I seek a balance between intention and receptivity, allowing the invisible moment of impression to introduce unexpected results and combinations.
My work as a printer began under the instruction of Lee Marchalonis, who was at the time the master printer at Signal-Return, the community letterpress studio in Detroit, Michigan.
Presently I make work at the IPRC, a community publishing resource in Portland, Oregon.
