My studio and vintage Vandercook No. 4.
I'm a small independent book publisher, letterpress printer, and artist living in western Wisconsin, seventy-five miles southeast of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. I work in a variety of mediums including relief printmaking, photography, and mixed media. Some of my work is collaborative in nature. “The Little Book of Hen: A Beginners Guide to Backyard Chickens” is my most recent collaboration with author, Patricia Cumbie. This limited edition, hand-bound, letterpress book, which I illustrated, was printed and published in 2024.
As an independent book publisher, I also design, print, and hand-bind fine press books of poetry under the title Goat Back Press. Recent commissions include “The Eighth at Saratoga,” and “Traveling Light,” by Robert Hedin, (with illustrations by Art Kenyon); “White Sky,” by Carter Smith; and “Upship,” an illustrated, four poem pamphlet by Robert Hedin. In 2019, I hand-set and printed a letterpress broadside titled, “Quilt Label," for Gwen Westerman, the 2022 poet laureate of the state of Minnesota.
