Working primarily in printmaking, my focus is generally on the creative process and collaboration.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from Washington State University. After relocating to New Mexico, I embarked on a career in technology while raising a family in Albuquerque. Finally, now in semi-retirement, more time is available for drawing and printing, attending courses, and collaborating with fellow artists.

Ever since arriving in New Mexico, I have been enamored with the landscape, the people, and the history. The fossil remains of our world also provide great opportunity for imagination and help us to view life through an extended timeline.

Despite being thoroughly disgusted by our current federal administration and its abhorrent treatment of women, minorities, planet, and migrants, I have optimism that our democracy will survive and eventually continue to flourish. Only with a diversity of viewpoints will we be able to collectively and cooperatively tackle the challenges that the future will no doubt present.

The Antichrist

Linocut and watercolor pencil, varied edition of 2. Framed size 22" x 24"

The 2024 presidential election winner is someone who cares little about anyone or anything other than himself. With the support of his mob of devotees, the policies of the administration have endangered and disenfranchised many within our borders. Here he is directly compared to Signorelli's depiction of the Antichrist, not in visual likeness, but in the motivations behind his words and deeds. The results of these deeds are proving to be both global and devastating.

Salinas Monument: Abó

8-color serigraph, edition of 7. Framed size 27"x15.5"

The mission of San Gregorio de Abó II, completed in 1651, now stands in ruins. Our National Park web site does not explain that the mission was built with forced or coerced labor of our first peoples, nor does it mention the failure of the mission due to European-borne Smallpox, Measles, famine, hubris, and religious intolerance.

Mimbres Heads

3-color serigraph, edition of 5. Framed size 18"x15"

A desire for conformity infects all societies, perhaps even the ancients. Conformity can lead to intolerance. Intolerance leads us to ruin.

Memento Mori, Respublica

5"x4" copper plate mezzotint intaglio, edition of 8. Framed size 12"x12"

Our republic appears to be destined for the same fate as the wooly mammoth. The GOP, however, appears unconcerned.

Untitled

4"x5" copper plate mezzotint intaglio, edition of 11. Framed size 12"x12"

None of us knows when extinction will come for our species.

Coelophysis

5"x4" Copper plate intaglio, edition of 5. Framed size 12"x12"
