Salinas Monument: Abó
20"x10" 8-color screen print, edition of 7
Screen Prints
Screen prints are achieved by drawing ink with a squeegee across a screen which has open and blocked areas. The ink that lands on the paper has been pushed through the open areas of the screen.
Adding a transparent base to the ink and printing in layers enables a means to blend colors. In this Salinas monument print, the colors were layered in this order: tan, blue, 3 greens, 2 terra cottas and dark brown.
Exhibited during June 2025 at the Juan Tabo Public Library in Albuquerque, NM.
Monsoon A.R.T. debut exhibit August 7 - September 25, 2025 at The Mothership Alumni in Albuquerque, NM.

Completed in 1632, the mission and convento La Concepción de Quarai is situated on the eastern slope of the Manzano Mountains in central New Mexico, near a peaceful spring and cottonwood grove. Quarai was abandoned in 1678 due to disease, famine and raids.

San José de los Jemez
20"x10" 12-color screen print, edition of 8
Constructed from 1621 - 1623, the mission church at Jemez was constructed by both women and men of the pueblo. The building is unusual due to its size and the octagonal bell tower. The mission was abandoned by 1706 and excavations of the ruin began in 1910. The state monument was established in 1935.
Mescalito
21"x15" 4-color CYMK screen print, edition of 5
Carlos Castaneda described Mescalito as a spirit guide of the hallucinogenic plant peyote. The plant is currently endangered and should not be harvested in the wild. Castaneda submitted his first book "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge" as a thesis for his master's degree in anthropology. Today it is widely understood to be a work of fiction.
Carlos Becomes a Crow
15"x13" Combination lithograph and screen print, edition of 3
In his first book "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge," Carlos Castaneda describes the process of becoming a crow after smoking an herbal mixture prepared by the Yaqui native Don Juan Matus. It doesn't really bother me that the work is fiction, but Castaneda should not have represented it as research.
