I am an artist printmaker living and working in Minneapolis, USA. This is a selection of etching and watercolor projects that reflect my enthusiasm for the physical world. I’m drawn to both the physical and the imaginative aspects of places and how the experience of them can be simultaneously extraordinary and everyday. In these visual projects, I hope to give expression to this paradox as well as to the active nature of place—because places are lived in and things happen there…   

In the site, finished pieces are interspersed with works in progress and also some process work in the form of sketches. Etchings are usually placed first in each section. I made most images in the last six years but I've included a few older pieces—these are usually dated.   

(Live links to the images are in the menu at the top of this page.)
