Nature's peace
will flow into you
as sunshine flows into trees
John Muir

One of my favorite walks up the mountain, always sunny, always see deer, sometimes wild horses sunning themselves in the meadows. I enjoy these so much more these days.

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.
