Piney View, WV

I am a printmaker and letterpress printer living in West Virginia in a log cabin my father and I built. I received an MFA from University of Central Florida in Drawing and Printmaking. I have two teenaged sons. I have been active in local art scenes in Orlando, FL, Athens, Georgia, Chicago, Illinois and for the past 20 years southern West Virginia. My most prolific collaboration has been with musician and writer Will Oldham. Together we have created limited editions of recording packaging, a letterpress and etching book, broadsides and posters. I make figurative copper etchings that express my innermost ideas and my relationship to the world. I'm also a talented baker. I am forever switching aprons and gloves.
