The presence of place has touched artists from cave painters to earthworks artists. I am no exception. I recently moved from the arid desert of Idaho to the lush humidity of Florida. The contours of the south Florida landscape now permeate my being in the same way that the mountains and desert of Idaho did. The word “desert” like the word “swamp” conjures images of inhospitable places. These places have great appeal to me as they offer a subtle beauty that is often overlooked. My art reflects this  through a variety of media within the realm of handmade books and prints.
