The beauty of water and the ever-changing colors of the landscape have been a constant source of inspiration throughout my printmaking career. Recent work is a convergence of color, line, shape, and texture in an ambiguous space with whispers of landscape. I have been thinking a lot about Climate Change and our responsibility to the life of our planet. Convergence and Climate Climax are a celebration of the life of our beautiful planet which deserves our awe and respect. My “sheltering in place” reduction woodcut, Anima Mundi (soul of the world) was begun in March 2020 after Covid reached Illinois. I can’t help but think Mother Earth is getting even, with this pandemic, for all of humanity’s abuses. Summer Soleil is, for me, the very essence of summer, my favorite season of the year. I tried to capture the colors of sunlight on water as seen up close from a Hobie Cat. Once Upon a Glacier… is a memorial to La Mer de Glace, as I remember it from the B&W photo I took in 1977.
