Artist Bio

I am a Florida artist and printmaker whose handmade limited-edition linoleum block prints take a nostalgic dive into a wacky world of alligators and flamingos, mermaids and swamp creatures, fruit stands and funky motels. Through whimsical compositions, luminous colors and the rustic texture of the linocut, I aspire to capture the charm and allure of Old Florida’s rich cultural heritage.

About the Studio

My art studio includes a hand-cranked etching press, a vintage Linoscribe letterpress and a turn-of-the-20th Century Charles Brand printing press, along with carving tools, ink and paper, drying racks and more.

What to Expect

From ideas and inspiration to carving a block and pulling a print, visitors will get a behind-the-scenes look at every stage of my creative process. Throughout the weekend, I’ll offer demonstrations on carving and printing, along with fun hands-on activities for all ages. Come check out my new backyard studio!
