These smaller works are usually sketched on the field while I hike around the Southwest and the many National Parks. Many times I work from memory after I get back to the campsite or the studio so it is difficult to tell exactly where I've been (even for me!).
I started making these smaller prints to get rid of small chunks of wood, bits of paper and little wrapped globs of ink. I could have called this the "leftovers" series! In art festivals, people like to take something after viewing my larger works; I gratefully obliged by providing them with these hand printed mini works for all occasions.

Process:
Woodcuts and wood engravings are made by drawing an image on a block of wood, usually cherry in my case, then carving out the negative spaces. After carving, what is left is a big "stamp" of the desired image. I roll ink with a roller over the woodcut, place a piece of handmade paper on the inked block, apply pressure and transfer the image on the paper.
