Image: From one of my many hikes in the one and only Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. This is one of many printed from a portion of a larger block; larger prints of the entire view also available in the Grand Canyon section. Each of the partial prints is a unique with a total of 60 printed.

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.

All my woodcuts are made in limited editions, signed and numbered in pencil by the artist.
