IT'S A WEIRD THING—BEING A CREATIVE.
IT COMES WITH FEELINGS OF BEING AN OUTSIDER, OR A OBJECT TO BE MARVELED, MISUNDERSTOOD.
I SPENT THE LAST DECADE AS A HAIRDRESSER, THOUGH I LOVED IT- MY PHYSICAL BODY WAS DONE. PLUS AS AN ELDER MILLENNIAL IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON TO MY THIRD.. ERR FOURTH CAREER..
I'VE ALWAYS FOUND "REGULAR" JOBS TO BE EXTREMELY DRAINING. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU CAN'T FIT INTO ANY BOXES THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER?
MAYBE THE ANSWER IS TO MAKE YOUR OWN BOX..?
What is block printing?
Block printing also known as relief printing or linocuts, is a process of carving a flat surface (usually wood or linoleum) then inking it and pressing it to transfer the image.
As a native of the PNW, I like to create scenes that are comforting, familiar. So, you will see mountains, seas and trees in my work. I’m completely self taught, my rebellious nature does not handle being told to sit in a box. My current medium is ink and linoleum, but I dabble in everything. Many things in life have no rules—just strange social constructs we’ve built up. I hope my art says something to you, that my creative soul communicates with your creative soul because when words are lost, there is art.
