Each of the works on this website began as a print that I produced between 1969-71, using hand-set wood and metal type in combination with lino-, zinc-, and woodcuts.  Each monoprint was unique, and produced by hand on a Vandercook proof-press.  Click here to see the original announcement for my San Francisco University of California “Monotypograph” show in 1970.

Today these prints are the basis for new works as I paint over them in ink, acrylic, pencil, and marking pen.  By recycling these older works I am able to incorporate the complex fabrics of my past with my current perspective on the world.
