I’ve been a commercial artist since 1982, first in newspaper production, then art direction. As I developed my own artistic skills, I was drawn to printmaking. After moving to New York, I was introduced to the world of hand-papermaking, book binding and letterpress printing. In 1997, I started my first venture, D.H. Productions which, over time, became DHP Papermill & Press. For ten years I offered exquisite printed matter mainly to the bridal industry with my work regularly featured in magazines and books. I struggled with the fact that 98% of “my babies,” each invitation design was a little work of art, ended up in the trash. I decided to take a break and shut down my shop in Fall 2007. I have missed it, almost daily and my one regret in life so far was selling my Vandercook Model No. 4. In the Fall of 2015, I dove back in to printmaking with both feet. I specialize in limited-edition hand-prints — prints I hope will be showcased and enjoyed for many years!
