The infinite details of the natural world are my obsession. I began my printmaking career almost 40 years ago with linocuts, but left that behind when I attended my first Nature Printing Society workshop in 1997. Nature printing, basicially the art of using the natural object (fish, leaf, feather . . .) with paper or cloth and ink to create a detailed image, took over my life. These days, I am still a nature printer, but instead of using ink and paper I am using molding putty and air drying clay to create bas relief cradled panels from the real objects – shells, leaves, rocks, etc. |

All are formed with Paperclay, cast from molds made from the real natural objects, and finished with acrylic paint.
