Bio

I was introduced to block printing as a child and attended print shop classes in junior high school in the late 60’s. I a career in commercial offset printing, which ended when advances in digital graphics revolutionized the printing trades and many jobs were eliminated. In the ’80’s I joined the letterpress revival. In addition to custom letterpress printing, I create fine art prints combining linoleum cuts and type. My work can be seen every day at the Dutch Alley Artists’ Co-op in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
