In my books I explore the common territories of poetry and image. Using color, texture, and the written word, I weave landscape and voice. I create small edition books using paint, mixed media, letterpress, handwriting, and screen print techniques.
I collaborate with poets, both national and international.
My latest books are a collaboration with my partner, Carter Clapsadle. As creatives, we work together on ideation, process & planning.

A short poem about a big idea: the hummingbird migration…          

Theme: Hummingbird Migration
How is it that small worlds, swallowed by the big, endure the departure from what is known? This last sentence of the poem intrigues me. I set out to create a very sparse book, but ended up using many transparent layers to create a sense of mystery and wonder. If these birds can find their way through their long migratory route, then I can too. I’m done with GPS, I want to follow my instincts. This is also what the creative process is about. There is no road map—we just begin.
