Hand-Pressed Sitka Spruce | Oregon Coast | Set of 3

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 like National Parks and National Forests.

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.

Truly Unique: By printing the cross-section of a tree, I am simply publishing a story written over decades or centuries. Each print is hand-signed as a mark of my craftsmanship.

Why You’ll Love This Piece

Authentic Craftsmanship: These are actual handmade woodcut prints. Using high-quality textured ink, I preserve the organic detail and "soul" of the wood grain on paper.

Customization & Care

Framing Advice: To ensure your art arrives safely, I ship all prints unframed. Because I use premium, heavy paper, these can be framed without glass for a textured, canvas-like appearance. I am happy to provide framing suggestions upon request.

My Guarantee: I stand by my work. If you aren’t completely moved by the artwork, I offer a full, no-questions-asked refund.
