About the Artist: Publishing the Stories of the Forest
As an artist, my mission is Ostranenie: presenting common things in an unfamiliar way to enhance our perception of the familiar. Trees are nature’s historians, recording everything from the activity of a wood ant to shifts in the global climate. I see myself as a publisher of stories written in wood. My process is rooted in a deep respect for the environment:
Ethically Sourced: I never cut down trees. I gather wood only from previously fallen trees in significant locations.
Hand-Pressed: Every piece is a hand-pulled woodcut print, not a machine reproduction. I consider each a work of art as unique as the tree itself.
A Living Record: By printing the cross-section of a tree, I am sharing a story written over decades or centuries. Each print is hand-signed as a mark of my craftsmanship.

Celebrate the intricate history of nature’s most resilient recorders.
This 24x36 inch woodcut captures the elegant life story of an Ash tree. Every ring visible in this print represents a year of growth and the specific environmental conditions the tree adapted to during its lifetime. It is a tangible reminder of resilience and time.

Customization & Care
Framing Advice: To ensure your print arrives safely, I ship all artwork unframed. Because I use premium, heavy paper, this piece can be framed without glass for a modern, textured look. I am happy to provide framing suggestions upon request.
My Guarantee: I stand by my work. If you aren’t completely satisfied with the artwork, I offer a full, no-questions-asked refund.
