My art making practice ebbs and flows in many different media to create art for gift-giving, professional development, and personal use. I enjoy drawing, painting, weaving, carving, printmaking, jewelry making, sewing and costuming.
My inspirations come from nonhuman living beings (animals, plants, biota, etc), artworks preserved thru history, learning traditional and contemporary knowledge of organic materials, and people rising up for one another.
Printing on paper
A growing set of 12 postcards for the lunar new year animals. While working teaching English in Japan in 2006-2007, several adult students gifted hand-printed postcards for the year of the Boar. To celebrate my 36th year I created a set of Rooster postcards. Distribution is a lot of work, thus this project will extend over 12 years. For year of the Ox, I printed a Mongolian yak. For year of the Rabbit, I printed a snowshoe hare of the Cascade Mountain range with its seasonal snacks.
