"A Pot of Tulips" These are my Easter tulips.  I always have to have some to put into this pot. There are no marks on the pot - I'm not sure of who made it. It is just a commercial, molded pot - but I love it.   Edition of 22, 7" x 10", 2008 - $75

"Roycroft Hyacinths" About a year ago, I was on the  Roycroft Campus  in East Aurora. I had just given a demonstration of my technique of screen printing to the participants in the Roycroft Elderhostel. After I had finished and walked outside, I saw this delightful group of white hyacinths blooming by the old print shop. I combined them with the well loved Elbert Hubbard quote. "If I had but two loaves of bread, I would sell one of them and buy white hyacinths to feed my soul." 7" x 10" edition of 50, 2007 on white Stonehenge rag paper $75

Rendered directly from nature - garden flowers, field flowers and other evocative images are carefully drawn.  
They are often placed in Arts and Crafts pottery and enclosed within related borders. 

With brush and pen, the compositions are painted  directly on the printing screens. Five, six or more screens may be prepared for the separate colors of each image.   Rich, matte finish, saturated color is used to skillfully hand print each stencil onto 100% rag heavy, printing paper.   The small editions are signed and numbered, ready for matting and framing.

The Copper Shop Gallery continues to have many of my prints on display. 
It is directly across Grove Street from the Roycroft Inn in East Aurora, NY on the  Roycroft Campus.
The Copper Shop Gallery is open daily 10 am-5 pm. 

I have just started a blog. As well as making prints, teaching printmaking has been my joy.
I am writing the blog to record my discoveries and to tell anyone who is interested in how I go about making screen prints.
