Native Lands: Seattle Print - Limited Edition of 100

As an artist, I tell visual stories that reveal, question, and celebrate how people interact with the natural and built environment around them. I combine historic maps from the public domain collection of the Library of Congress, with my own illustrations in an attempt to reveal layered meanings derived from history, mythology, folklore and nature. I'm most interested in the often uneasy process of forging a context that surrounds people and places. This often results in producing more questions than answers, which has required a certain level of learned humility, and acceptance that secrets do not loose their grip easily. Artworks are available in two ways, signed limited editions, and unsigned open editions. The signed limited edition Giclee prints are printed by Candela Fine Art Printing using archival inks on archival Canson Edition Etching paper. The unsigned open edition prints are made available to honor the originating principles of maps - as shared visual knowledge to meant to inform, inspire, and guide. I'm excited to bring these works of art to current day explorers through similar means of mechanical reproduction meant for wide distribution and affordability.
