A man's work is nothing but a slow trek to rediscover, through the byways of art, those one or two things
in whose presence his heart first opened.
—Albert Camus
I want to express the profound mystery and ineffable grace embodied in the landscape and the human figure. My work is informed by a fascination with myth, history, and language, with the expression of spiritual impulses through the interplay of words and images. Influences of Maya and Aztec sculpture--
but also of the woodcuts of Hokusai and Hiroshige, of British and American wood carvers
of the twentieth century—are apparent there.
My work in recent years has been in pen and ink, woodcut, wood engraving, watercolor, and oil painting,
with increasing interest in more complicated techniques and formats: the multiblock color woodcut,
the reduction woodcut, and the whiteline woodcut.
