I retired as an Emeritus Professor from Carleton College after 38 years of teaching there. I was very fortunate to have a long career at a great school with terrific students. My teaching included leading 13 10-week trips to New Zealand, Australia, and the Cook Islands. I currently live in New Mexico. I work in printmaking and book arts, and I also spend a good deal of time drawing from nature.  My book work is usually about historical events or social issues.

My books have been collected by numerous public collections, including the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress.  My prints are in collections that include the Minneapolis Institute of Art and Walker Art Center.

This website has information about books that are available, as well as a selection of print work and some sketchbooks that are based on drawing onsite.
