Perpetual Vision
A dance of lines, a web of trace,
A pattern weaves, a rhythmic space.
From simple strokes, a story spun,
A tapestry of light, where shadows run.
Each curve and angle, a silent plea,
A language formed, for all to see.
The winding path, the steady beat,
In every line, a heart's retreat.
The spiral's swirl, a cosmic dance,
A universe held in a fleeting glance.
The zigzag's edge, a jagged song,
A melody where right and wrong belong.
The grid, a map, a strict design,
Yet within its bounds, new forms entwine.
A fractured line, a broken dream,
A shattered pattern, not what it seems.
In every pattern, a truth unfolds,
A story whispered, never fully told.
From line to line, the meaning grows,
A pattern is carved, where beauty flows.

Every single one of my prints is hand-printed and not a reproduction.
There are many different printmaking techniques.
Traditional printmaking techniques include relief printing, lithography, intaglio printing, and screen printing. At the moment, I prefer linocut printmaking which is a type of relief printing. All of my prints are created using this process.
First, I start by drawing the image desired to carve onto a block of linoleum. Areas to remain the color of the surface being printed on are carved from the block first. Then the ink is rolled onto the uncut surface of the block. I then lay the paper on top of the block, first attaching the tabs that hold the paper in place so that each time I lay down the paper the image is transferred with complete registration. When the paper is removed the image then appears in reverse.
