Printmaking
I love creating prints that are inspired by the wild creatures I have observed living in both California and the Pacific Northwest. I love taking my current animal or plant of interest, researching how it fits into and contributes to its ecosystem, and try to incorporate other aspects of its life within the print’s portrait.
"Little Brown Mytois" 2025 This print is inspired by the non-profit Bats Northwest which leads citizen science programs educating and promoting bat conservation and monitoring to better understand these little understand and critical member of ecosystems. The Little Brown Myotis is 1 of 14 species of bats found in the state of Washington, all of which eat bugs, like the mosquito depicted in my print.
