On The Water Collection
Hand-carved linocut prints inspired by our deep connection to water.
Water is a part of each of us. It connects us, it moves us, it sustains us.
This collection began along the coast of Maine, in small, quiet moments where water and human presence meet.
Each piece is a study in attention: reflection, movement, stillness, and the subtle ways water holds and shapes what surrounds it.
Inspired by an early morning paddle on Long Pond, where the world appeared to rest, nearly undisturbed, both above and beneath the surface. This piece reflects a quiet stillness that feels both seen and felt at once.
Each print is carved, inked, and printed by hand, allowing small variations that make each print unique. From the On The Water Collection.

Drawn from a space beside a busy route on Mount Desert Island where movement and stillness meet, this piece holds the quiet tension of passing through and letting go, of being both held and released at once.

Each linocut print begins as a photograph, then becomes a drawing, and finally a carved block.
Each line is carved by hand. Each print is inked and pulled individually. No two impressions are exactly the same.
Drawn from sea kayaks resting along the rocky shoreline of Mount Desert Island, this piece holds a quiet moment of pause before a launch into the vast, open water.

Drawn from Southwest Harbor, where the boats are moored side by side and turn slowly together with the tide. This piece was created as a reminder that we’re bound together, sharing the same earth. We have more in common than we often see at first glance.

Each piece is meant to hold a small moment of quiet pause.
A space to remember your connection to the natural world.
May this work invite you to slow your breathing,
and to move in rhythm with what sustains you.
I’m sharing the process behind these hand-carved linocut prints: photographing the coast of Maine, carving reflections and water textures into linoleum, and pulling each print by hand in the studio.
