I have always been fascinated by old photographs, bizarre relics and religious iconography, which has in turn spawned an interest in anachronistic technology and the world of make believe. These are my major influences and perhaps what got me hooked on Intaglio printmaking, which has been a passion of mine for about five years. Lately I have also found major inspiration in the traditional forms of decoration and iconography of Japan and China, which stems from working in close contact with both tattoo artists as well as with local artist who's work has greatly informed mine.

I received my BA from The Evergreen State College, where my focus was sustainable agriculture, but where I also studied lithography as well as independent art study. While there I also worked as a cartoonist for the Cooper Point Journal, a student newspaper, and as a part time illustrator for the city of Olympia, Thurston County Parks and Recreation.

Professionally I have been lucky enough to work at Trillium Graphics, a Fine Art printmaking studio and publisher, for over five years as registrar, web designer/administrator, production assistant and collaborative printmaker.
