Since going through this process throws light on several issues, some perhaps peripheral, but important, I decided to post the process. Everything from why it was required, through execution and completion may be applicable to others in a variety of situations. When I first started inkjet printing there were no good coated fine art papers […]

Closing the shop on lower Queen Anne, completing a large kickstarter project, trimming down and reconsidering the equipment I am keeping so I can work from home, and finding a way to make it all work here, has proven a more monumental task than I anticipated.

Nice to have work reproduced, two from the Liz series were chosen for issue 2 of The HAND Magazine. Also a small print on Arches watercolor paper from an upcoming series of iphone images of Begonias on our front step was chosen for the annual 10x10x10 exhibition at The Mighty Tieton, an extremely impressive arts […]
