I start with a patch of color! 

Winning the juried competiton to create art work for the 100 anniversary of the  Hillcrest Mine Disaster, in 2014, convinced me to look at my graphic art more seriously. 189 giclee prints were produced and sold.

I think of my graphic design work, which is now exclusively on aluminum panels, as sculpting color. 

I use a simple vector program. It is one I am sure you all know, PowerPoint. I follow a simple layering technique, sculpting and layering each patch of color, one over the other, until my design tells its story. As with Wave Spirit  shown here, there is no AI computer magic, just oddles of time, a vivid imagination, and lot of patience.

Dye Sublimation on Aluminum

I use a modern printing technique that infuses archival dyes directy into aluminum panels using heat and pressure. The finished product has a robust, modern no-frame look, and comes with a pre-installed hanging mechanism on the back. I offer two or three sizes, depending on the art work. For a framed look one can simply set the art work as received into a museum shadow-box frame. All of my grahic art comes numbered and with a certificate of authenticity.
