Collaborative lino print project
22 artist members from the Shepherd&Maudsleigh Studio each printed a 4" square block. Theme was SPRING! Each artist arranged the blocks all together and printed one large print. Using all the blocks reconfiguring the arrangement the prints all were unique. Fantastic collaborative effort and super fun day!

My monotype experiments
I tried a technique where I use paper, torn and cut, which I ink, then apply to the acrylic plate with other elements like plants, netting and oats, to create a scene. The last one is a ghost print. I used paper from an old photo album, which was made…
Sheeping Forecast
This is a growing collection of sheep that I'm etching with caustic soda and carving. At an open studio event some people saw my Romney linocuts at an open studio event, and were quick to suggest breeds local to them. As I continue to add different breeds from around the…
