Cold War

I recently  have  been reading up and watching shows about the Cold War. What an interesting time in world history and although the Cold War is “over” it surprises me how much it still dictates Americas foreign policy and military strategy.

Kites from prison

I’m beginning a new print! It is a multiblock linoleum relief print. I’m looking forward to how I will need to create the steam in the foreground of this piece (not shown yet).
