Nature is my greatest inspiration. My new series,
Monsters, is the largest one I have ever undertaken. 160 linocuts, 60 poems, 20 distinct livres d'artistes. This is a glimpse:

My monster series is inspired by Jellyfish |
Jellyfish have been roaming the seas for more than 500 million years and are the oldest multi-organ animal. When I visited the
National Aquarium in Baltimore to take these photos and do research, I was amazed at the way they pump their way through the water, like a
beating heart searching for its mate.

The vibrant colors of nature are spectacular! |
The jellyfish I am using as inspiration are named Medusa for their long tentacles like the Greek mythical Medusa.

I look forward to posting more about the progress of this series.
