During the uncertainty of the Covid Quarantine I found it very difficult to immerse myself in my painting process. So I went outside and drew little views around my yard. I carved these sketches into linoleum blocks and printed them on various colored papers. The carving provided focus and the printing itself offered spontaneity. As the seasons changed I added details with acrylics, which slowly led me back into painting. Recent work includes carved linoleum blocks printed onto paintings.
