I'm a printmaker and poet living in a 19th century water tower in the village of Mendocino, where I make editions and host workshops. Before this I spent ten years running The Aesthetic Union, a letterpress print shop in San Francisco's Mission District. I sold it in 2023 and found myself here — after a few years of necessary quiet, the work is coming back.

My practice is rooted in place. Mendocino sits on the edge of two worlds — headlands pushing into an ocean that is seldom calm, and the Big River running slow and emerald into the bay. I've been writing about all of it in my Substack, Don't Think Twice.

I am also a poet. The two practices aren't separate. Printmaking taught me that every decision shapes what comes next and none of them are reversible — I had words for that long before I found Zen.
