This blog will be about my work.  Right now I have just completed an artist's book for the University of Utah, Fine Arts Museum, one of my first commissions.  I don't usually like doing commissions, but this one was great, I had a lot of freedom, and learned some new things about how I work.  Being on a schedule (working on the same project day in and out because of a deadline), can be just as freeing as my usual way (working on whatever calls to me, having many projects ongoing at once). I finished way ahead of my deadline, and loved how it came out.  I had more than enough time to finish it completely to my satisfaction.  

Next I taught a printmaking class at the AhHaa Art school in Telluride.  I enjoyed that class a lot.  We used gelli plates and stencils, which I cut from tyvek, a perfect stencil material.
