I am a printmaker, painter, graphic artist & illustrator living on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. Moved here in 1993, after 20 years in the SF Bay Area; before that, grew up on Long Island outside of NYC. Married, with a grown daughter & teenage granddaughter living next door… and numerous dogs & cats. And sheep.

My big loves in life (besides closest family & friends!) have always been nature, animals, art. The concentration involved in creating a piece of artwork is my form of meditation; most of my inspiration and spiritual juice come from some amazing bit of the natural world — form, color, essence — knocking me between the eyes.
I've earned most of my living over the years doing graphic design & illustration (www.blueheron1.com). Specialized in illustrating children's books for the Hawaiian language renaissance. That's winding that down now; I look forward to spending more time in the studio, working on my own creations.

My fine arts are available as originals and reproductions. Most of the originals are one-of-a-kind works: monoprints or paintings, or, in some cases (ie, relief prints) small runs of up to 10 or so original impressions. I also offer archival digital reproduction prints of most original works, printed on acid-free paper on high-end printers. These are very good quality, very frame-able but less pricey. I also offer some artwork in the form of notecard sets. (In these times of texting and digital communications, it's become a real treat to get an actual, hand-written card in the mail.)

Everything I display in my shop is my own artwork. I hope you'll enjoy it. I welcome your feedback and am happy to answer any questions you may have about my works. More of it (including graphic design and illustration) can also be viewed at my website, www.blueheron1.com.
