I was encouraged to get back to doing some printmaking by my Mother-in-law (thanks Emi!)…and my family were the perfect subjects.

Four Brothers
I was was honoured to be commissioned to create portraits of these four brothers.
Tara
Inspired by my lovely wife Tara, this 3-colour linocut is based on a photograph from our amazing trip to Newfoundland.
Self Portrait
One of many (many!) self-portraits I’ve done over the years, I played around with variations in the printing process with this series.
Mom
This two-colour linocut is based on a photo from about 30 years ago, and for those who have never met my mom, I think it really captures her.
Yayoi
I had a difficult time getting the likeness but I think I’ve captured her. I submitted this two-colour linocut print as well as Mom to the Art Gallery of Ontario’s In Your Face exhibition.
