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 meaningful locations.
Hand-Pressed: Inspired by the work of Bryan Nash Gill, I hand-pull every print. These are authentic woodcuts, not machine-made reproductions.
Truly Unique: Every print is a one-of-a-kind work of art, capturing the unique history and "soul" of the specific tree it was crafted from.
San Francisco Redwood: Hand-Pressed Woodcut
Bring the timeless majesty of California’s redwoods into your home.
This 36x48 inch woodcut is a rare look back in time, sourced from a fallen redwood on the outskirts of San Francisco. Counting the rings on a redwood of this age is a powerful experience, revealing decades—or even centuries—of environmental history.

Customization & Care
Personalization: I am happy to customize the color and paper size to fit your specific vision. Just send me a message.
Your Wood, My Art: If you have a meaningful piece of wood from your own property, I am available for personalized commissions.
Framing Advice: To prevent damage, I ship all prints unframed. Because I use very high-quality paper, these prints can be framed without glass (similar to a canvas). I recommend consulting a local frame shop for the best results on a piece this size.
My Guarantee: I stand by my work. If you aren’t completely satisfied, I offer a full, no-questions-asked refund.
