About

I’m a Lakewood artist whose subject is our feline friends, and whose media includes pen, pencil, paper, block prints, copper and silver wire and beads, and pixels.

Why cats? Well, I’ve been drawing them since I was a child, so why not? And if my art can make someone smile because of their wacky and lovable antics, I’ve done something worthwhile. I feel blessed that I can take the time to create art as a side gig* to my day job as a graphic designer.

In terms of my process, most pieces start with a series of hand-drawn pencil sketches that explore the basic idea. Then, depending on the style that emerges, I’ll develop the idea on either a PC, a block of linoleum, cut paper, or wire. You’ll note that the interplay of linework, geometry, and texture figures prominently in my work, and I am specifically intrigued by how even minute adjustments to these can change the direction of a piece, or give rise to a completely new one!

The final pieces become framed and unframed block prints, cut paper images, digital prints, t-shirts, or wire and bead jewelry and art.
