Shiloh’s Meadow

This piece is currently in production. And although it’s a departure from the rest of the pieces in The Details of the Meadow series, it’s an important piece to me and worthy of inclusion. Mainly because this is the actual meadow where Shiloh and I play fetch every day. We usually pack a bag about […]

Borrowed Wings

There’s nothing more delicate and intricate than a feather. And capturing these details in a monotype, printing directly from the feather itself is especially challenging. I must have printed hundreds before finding the perfect balance of light and dark which would be ideal for screen print reproduction. This feather has a story though. I didn’t […]

Grass & Lace

While I was printing the monotype prints for Meadow Wreath from this series, there were a few standouts. Notably one imprint from a very tall grass and another from a stalk of Queen Anne’s Lace. I drew a subtle grey rectangle, overlaid them both over the top and immediately knew I’d be printing these at […]

Dragonfly, King of the Meadow

I kind of always expected that there would be a dragonfly featured in the Details of the Meadow series. I just had no idea that it would be my largest, and most intensive work to date. I also had no idea what it would take to actually produce, or what it would ultimately take from […]

Clover Patch

I was out in the park playing fetch with Shiloh in early Spring and noticed a small patch of clovers in a perfect circle. I knew I wanted to include clover in the Details of the Meadow series, so I dug up the entire patch, took it back to the studio, put it in a […]

Meadow Wreath

4-color screen print with hand-embellishments from over 80 monotype originals on stretched canvas

Dandelion

What’s a meadow without a dandelion, right? This piece was composed from several different botanical monotype prints from the same flower (see video below). Some were light, some were dark, other prints were mid-tone serving to highlight and add texture to this piece. Each monotype print was enlarged nearly 5,000 percent and repurposed as its […]

Dance of Wishes

16-color screen print with hand-embellishments from monotype original on stretched canvas

Grasses

DETAILS OF THE MEADOW | A CELEBRATION OF PRINT For over two years, I collected natural elements—leaves, flowers, feathers, even dragonfly wings—to create and capture direct monotype impressions. Each print captures not just the image but the very texture of these organic forms, yielding a depth that even photography cannot match. Yet, the beauty of […]

Gingko Nouveau

19×40 Framed, One-of-a-kind piece, No reproductions or prints available.

Trinity

One winter morning, I was walking my dog Shiloh and glanced up at the sky through a nearly bare sweetgum tree. The last remaining sweetgum balls hanging on to the branch like silhouetted ornaments against the swirling storm clouds in the winter sky. The idea for Trinity, at that moment, was born. Trinity is a […]

In Lucem

“In Lucem.” 44 color reduction method screen print on 24×30 canvas panel.

La Luna

The moon has always spoken to me. Her soft light comforts us in the darkness and somehow reminds us that we aren’t alone, even if we are. Many times in my life, I’ve been on the phone with loved ones far away and and asked them to go outside so we both could stare at […]

Leaving Safe Harbor

“Leaving Safe Harbor” Because it’s only by casting off from the familiar shores and exploring the unknown when you’ll begin to uncover the inner contours of your own soul. This piece is the image I had in-mind to develop when I fell in love with the monotype printing process. It taught me much in both […]

Fleeting Serenity

Early March, 2022, I was whining to my friend Val Lev about being stuck creatively, wondering what my next piece in the Inkscape series was going to be. She suggested, “Go outside, keep your eyes open and It will reveal itself to you.” It was late afternoon, dark clouds had rolled-in and Shiloh and I were getting […]

South on Second

Landscapes aren’t just mountains, streams and seashores. This is the view down Second Avenue from the John Seigenthaler pedestrian Bridge in Nashville. The day I took this photo, Shiloh and I were out for a walk on an unusually warm day in March. I loved all the reflections in the glass, contrasting shapes, colors and textures […]

Smoky Mountains

If you’re ever been to the Great Smoky Mountains, you’re familiar with the wonderful, misty mornings that give these ancient mountains their name. I worked very hard to capture this in this work. I’m very happy with the result. The Inkscapes are a series of monotype prints, depicting scenes and etherial landscapes as viewed through […]

Morning Mist

When I was a kid, I’d spend weeks out of my summer vacation with my Mamaw & Papa in Foxworth, Mississippi. There, out in the countryside, were acres of forest and field with ponds and lakes bordering the Pearl River on one side. This scene is remittent of those misty mornings on the lake, when […]
