For years I have told anyone willing to listen that plants scream when they need something. This study is validating. Sounds emitted by plants under stress are airborne and informative: Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

My youngest kid is learning about the Oregon Trail, and had to build a #wagon. He got frustrated with my design choices and built his own, but I finished mine anyways. I think it turned out rather neat. #oregontrail #modelbuild #parenting

Over the years, I have contributed to five editions of #Body&Soul Artist Magazine by #Corvinus Presse bound and distributed by Hendrik Liersch in Berlin, Germany. Here are the five books - covers in the first image and open to my contribution in the second. I did one of the covers. #art

The #carving of the second layer for my #reductioprint #linocut is ready. I might not have time to print it for several days, which will give extra time for the first layer's ink to dry thoroughly. I am excited about the progress. #printmaking #art #flexcut

I finally laid out the whole #variededition of my latest #reductionprint #linocut series, climbed on a chair and took a picture of them all together. There are 34 pieces with two artist prints (not in the image). Hues make such a big difference in how shapes are perceived! #art #printmaking

Most of my #figure #drawing #artwork is made from life, ideally in 10-15 minutes poses. This is a rare example of a more developed piece for which I used a photograph. I was able to capture the model's likeness, define his muscles, and work out light and shadows better. #art #portrait #malemodel

I have been fortunate to serve as a #model for some amazing artists. Here I am in front of a #portrait painted by the incomparable J Brodrick.

Multi-plate #linocut I called "Magical Cat". I combined carvings I made as a repeat pattern for large scale pieces since they had a symmetry with a carving of my #cat and his eye ended up perfectly in the center as if rays of colors were streaming from him. #printmaking #art

#monoprint I made last week trying to capture the warmth of light spilling over snow-covered pines. The winter scene is painted onto a clear plate and the rays of light are printed using a #linocut #carving #printmaking #art

#monoprint using #linocut plates I carved in 2023. As I was working on my book last year, this was one of the artworks I put together as a possible cover image. I ended up going with a different piece for the cover of my book, but I love the warm colors and rich textures I put together here. #art

Pressed #charcoal #drawing #onpaper #fromlife I need to find time to return to a regular practice of drawing from life. Looking at old sketchbooks and feeling the pull of the unique #creative process live #figuredrawing offers.

I have been playing with #resin and casting #mushrooms into lovely arrangements. These here are set with some finds from the beaches of Oahu, Hawaii. There is something really joyful about this piece in particular.

#etching #monoprint I created in 2017. It is one of my favorites from the large series I had called Convergence, and I will share a few more pieces with you shortly.

The Pear is one of my first #linocut pieces, where I got to really play with textures and values. It is still one of my favorite still lives. #stilllife #carving #art

In Lucid Color is my first #book published in September 2024 and available on Amazon. In it, I share some personal history and perspective, and talk about my experience working with clients in Oregon's licensed psilocybin network. Lots of my artwork is featured throughout. Check it out!

Had a therapy client this week who really responded to this #etching #monoprint I made in 2017. Their generous affection for this piece has touched me deeply and I wanted to share it with you.

I finally finished a series of 36 reduction prints, all different color combinations, each one of a kind. It has taken several months. Fabriano white and BFK Rives black paper. Charbonnel Aqua Wash inks. #linocut #reductionprint #printmaking #art

This 8.5x8.5 inches carving (linocut) is fun in many colors. I pulled a few individually and decided to try printing six on the same page. Here are a few of them. The ones with multiple imprints need a little more, perhaps a unique transparent layer. Still experimenting. #linocut #printmaking #art
