Seahorses in Progress

Carve Carve Carve! I am busily carving up this woodcut for a collaboration between Pyramid Atlantic and The Sargasso Sea Alliance. Pyramid Atlantic invited 16 artists to make a piece of art about animals in the Sargasso Sea and they are going to make 28" x 8' scrolls that will feature the special marine life that call the Sargasso home. So far the scrolls are slated to be shown at the Washington Printmakers Gallery and Bermuda. 

Pinniped Predicament

And, it's finished! Newest woodcut about crusty ice and walruses. Walrus use ice as a resting site when out to sea searching for prey and as a safe haven to raise pups, far away from the threat of polar bears and people. If the ice disappears, their safety is in danger. All animals that depend on sea ice find themselves in a bit of a "predicament."

A splash of color to brighten up a grey day in New York City.

A Pinniped Preview

Just about the print the last color on this walrus clump. The guy in the foreground looks like he is ailing from ocean acidification...or the flu.

The Florida Swamp

My sweetie's mom lives in South Florida, so, we often end up visiting around the holidays. Besides all the subdivisions and traffic which make me mad, there are some really interesting wild places. Here are some photos of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. At some point, you may see a Florida series about all the invasive pets that now are taking over the wild. Including lionfish, which people think either came from an aquarium during a hurricane or people just dumping their beloved aquarium fish into the wide blue sea.

Happy Holidays Lionfish!

I tell myself every year that I am going to make holiday cards, and then I end up being too busy! I feel like I cannot buy a card, being an artist and able to make something so I end up not giving cards at all! But, I can make a digital lionfish happy holiday, kickstarter e-card :) with warm wishes enclosed, er...ah, or warm wishes from my screen to yours.

How to make a Narwhal

just two more colors to go!

criss cross, I was toying with the name swizzle stick for this piece because that is another name for Narwhal tusks.
