I'm a fine art printmaker and teaching artist. I earned my MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2006 and have exhibited widely at art centers, university galleries, and independent art spaces. I've been teaching since 2002, including through the Mural Arts Program and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I maintain a studio practice in Germantown.
The subject for this book is my four pet cats. The entire sheet of paper is 11" x 17" making each page when folded 4.25" x 5.5". The images are white line woodcuts which means the lines were carved in a wood block and then each raised shape was painted with watercolors and hand printed with a wooden spoon.
