Dot and Dimension

Egrets? I’ve had a few. (But this one is my favorite.)
There is something about the way a Great Egret stands so perfectly still that makes you hold your breath. I’ve been wanting to capture that “white watcher” energy for a while now.
I started with a collagraph plate to get all those organic, crinkly textures in the feathers, then went back in with watercolor. It’s a bit of a slow process, but I think the layering was worth it.
Big print release coming this May!

Dad always dropped everything for the little myna that visited our 7th-floor balcony. They’d share a few notes, a brief conversation, and he’d be left with the widest smile. Now, when I see a chickadee or a junco in my own yard, it’s like a hello from him. These monotypes are my way of keeping that song going.

Seattle, you showed up, and how!!!
It was so wonderful to see you, and my heart is so full.🤩🥰

A huge thank you to everyone who came by at the PhinneyWood Winter Festival this weekend. I am blown away by all the love and support!

And endless gratitude to the incredible organizers and volunteers who made this event so seamless and special.

If you’ve been waiting for a touch of color to appear in my prints, this is my brave foray into that realm.
“Edge of Wind”
Collagraph intaglio print.

I love how, when seagulls land, they glide in, pause for a moment as if listening to the wind, and then fold their wings. A moment of stillness in motion.

If you’re not careful, you’ll start noticing birds… and birdwatching will quietly creep up on you. Well it’s true! I’ve been enjoying watching birds and making bird prints.

“Flying North”
Snow geese in flight, traveling together through open skies. Because it’s that time of the year when the skies over Skagit valley fill with wings!

What stories do the tides tell? “Shifting Sands” captures the soft, sculpted edges of a shoreline always in motion.
A meditation on movement, memory, and impermanence.

I had a fascinating conversation with a fellow printmaker at my Pike Place Market table this week. About how linocuts strike a delicate balance, between fine detail and minimal mark making, where each line becomes just a suggestion rather than a full rendering. Such an interesting perspective, and so true!
“Fur Seal”

I adore the tiny Pacific Spiny Lumpsuckers. Uncharitably named, but accurate.


The past year was one of milestones and growth. I created my first large-scale print and ventured into woodblocks, collages, and collagraphs. I worked on new linocut prints, big and small.
I had the privilege of participating in my first craft show and even gave a live printmaking demo. It was a year full of firsts, new lessons, and creative breakthroughs.
It was also a year of personal growth, focusing on building a creative space that inspires me, while embracing the importance of being more present. For me, that also meant stepping back from social media a bit and simply being in the moment.
This year I hope to share more, focus on building community and making art that fosters joy and connection. Thank you for being here. I see you, and I’m grateful for you.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by this past weekend—you were absolutely amazing! My heart is so full, and I’m beyond grateful for your support. 🥰

Wishing you all a joyful holiday season, and I can’t wait to see you at in the New Year!

Join me tomorrow at for a LIVE PRINTMAKING DEMO from 2-5pm!

Celebrate the grand opening of the Overlook Walk, connecting the Market to Seattle’s vibrant waterfront. Enjoy live music, artist demos, and more, leading up to the public opening at 4:30pm. See you there!

Ever raced hermit crabs at the beach? You can line them up and watch them go where they want, when they want, as they will.
That’s it. No rules. No finish line.
In other news, I will be at the Inscape Open House next Sunday, June 9th from noon to 6 pm. (Details in my stories)
There be a few prints of this little fellow with his tiny shell house, alien eyes, et all. Come by to say hello, if you’re in the area.
