About the artist.

I had a graphic design career for fifty years and am now in recovery from that career. I did some silk screen in college in the 1960s, a few prints in the 1980s and then nothing until 2019 when I built a set up for silk screen in the garden level of my design studio. Although very small, the studio affords me the luxury of having everything I need to silkscreen in one place. With the exception of outputting film, which is done by the fine folks at Anthem in San Francisco, I do everything by hand for each print. The allure of silkscreen for me is the smooth and vibrant color along with the crisp delineation of form.
