Image: A view of Bryce Canyon from the trail leading to the ever popular Sunrise Point. The point itself was so full of tourists that I opted to backtrack on the cliff's edge and found this tree hanging on and enjoying the view; the wind harshly buffeted tree and I, as I sat and sketched.

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.
