ARTIST Q&A
Born: Quincy, MA

Title of artwork: Tiger Snake
What’s it about? Ive always admired traditional Tibetan tiger rugs and was interested in creating my own take on one. I had the opportunity to create a large scale woodblock carving and make prints using an over sized press. The original is 54″ x36″ and is hand carved in wood. Its one of the largest blocks I’ve carved to date.
