Featured below, you’ll see some art pieces that I’ve made over the past few years.
Printmaking is one of my favorite forms of art (especially drypoints!), but without access to a press, I’ve taken a break from it. More recently, I’ve been focusing my time on letterpress, which combines my love for printmaking with my deep appreciation for typography. I also enjoy painting and am hoping to get back to that after a few freelance projects are wrapped up.

Summer 2019 – Winter 2021
I rent studio time at a workshop in Scranton, PA, and I go up every few weeks to make new things. For me, letterpress is a method of escapism: I don’t set out with the intention to make anything perfectly, but rather, I want to have fun experimenting and learning from my mistakes.
In 2020, I spent much of my letterpress time making gifts and small commission pieces. The gallery below shows both finished pieces as well as in-progress photos.
In 2021, I bought a small press from Provisional Press. I've been trying to carve out more time to do prints at home! (pun intended)
It's been awhile, but sometimes I like to post stories on my Instagram. Check them out and follow me to see more.
