I had a vivid imagination as a child, at times pretending I was a dog, a horse, an antelope. I would run around on my hands and knees convinced I was part of the animal kingdom. Today, I still pretend – sometimes that I am someone else, doing something extraordinary, imagining myself anywhere but the present. It is an escape, albeit a creative one, but we all must come back to our real selves and come to terms with who we are and our purpose on Earth.

This piece is a "relief engraving.” It is in the block print or relief family of printmaking, which refers to two surfaces, one lower than the other, so that the highest surface prints. I hand carve each image with small but tough tools called burins, or gravers. The remaining surface is rolled with ink and pressed through the printing press. Each print taken from the plate is part of an edition, and numbered. My limited editions are always under 100 since they are inked and cranked by hand on my printing press. Printed on 100% Cotton Rag Paper.
