These are two works I spent hours cutting, it was fun, I loved it and I found something else I can do and appreciate: woodblock relief printing. This Dyptic is titled "Water & Air". I started exploring Utah's southern desert areas last summer 2010, and have never stopped loving it. Since I was small, I have collected rocks, plants, pieces of wood, feathers and I find retreat in these earthly objects, a majestic love, something untouched and non man-made. This piece is my statement about my love for the places I've been and the incredible things that sometimes we just pass on by without a blink of an eye. I like to think that if I take a moment of my time to look around, really look and see the beauty, I feel connected to this planet and everything on it. It gives my life a kind of meaning to learn to appreciate what is right in front of me.
