I'm a fine art printmaker and teaching artist. I earned my MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2006 and have exhibited widely at art centers, university galleries, and independent art spaces. I've been teaching since 2002, including through the Mural Arts Program and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I maintain a studio practice in Germantown.

This was inspired by insects and other small animals found in the yard of my Philadelphia rowhome. 

The paper measures 11" x 15", so when it is folded each page measures 3.75" x 5.5". It is printed on 120 lb watercolor paper. Each image is printed from a carved wood block with oil-based black ink and hand colored with watercolors.
