How I create my artwork
Most of the artwork I produce is a form of printmaking called relief printing. All images are drawn onto a linoleum block. Next, the image is carved by hand. After all of the carving is completed, I ink the block using a rubber roller. Once there is a coat of ink on the block, I put a piece of paper on top of it and run it through a printing press. The pressure of the press transfers the image from the block and onto the paper.
