I'm finally having a website designed for me. Here are some never before seen images (they were collecting dust in an old slide box).
Now - newly digitized for your enjoyment!

Book Arts class

I'm excited to be teaching a book arts class at the Oregon College of Art and Craft this fall. A kind of  book arts 101. We'll be learning basic binding techniques, playing with fun structures, and experimenting with text and image. Visit the OCAC catalogue for more details.

Book Arts

Aggregate Memory is a book I made with my wonderful artist friend Macy Chadwick. We exchanged ideas, images and mock-ups through the mail for over a year before finalizing our concept. Then, collaborating in our California and Portland letterpress studios we printed a limited edition artists' book. To see more images of my book arts projects go to my flikr site.

Tales of the Alhambra

Finally a few more images from my show at the Oregon College of Art & Craft. This series of paintings was inspired by a trip I took to Spain in 2005. The beautiful moorish palaces and gardens of southern Spain made a lasting impression on me. To see more images go to my Flikr site.
