I fell in love with printmaking at The Evergreen State College. The ink smell, cleaning “green” using cooking oil, the sound of the presses, hand-cranking them across damp paper, the inspiration of antiquated art-forms… Thanks, Colleen!

The coast is a special place to me. I grew up in high altitude where the plains meet the Rocky Mountains. There wasn’t a lot of standing water there. The ocean was this amazing, mysterious place that I saw maybe a few times when I was a child. It was vast and blue. Moving to Washington has been so great since I see water almost every day.
