Artist statement

The white line woodcut print is made by cutting the entire image into a block of poplar wood.

I use a wood gauge, X'acto knife, drill, or any tool that will make a depression in the wood.

When the image is finished I attach a sheet of handmade paper at the side of the image and begin to fill in the color areas one at a time, taking care not to go over the line. I use watercolor paint, or gouache to fill in the areas of color, laying the paper over that color and burnishing with a spoon. The paper is lifted and the next color area is painted, this continues until the image is completely painted with all colors.

The edition is printed one complete paper at a time. This process is time consuming so I work on several different images at a time.
