Glacial Meltwater29 7/16" x 41 7/8"This is a reduction print based off an abstract birds-eye view of a meltwater site. Similarly to how meltwater creates runoff and tears away the mountain and land it once rested upon, the block is carved away until nothing is left. When seen in person, it is often considered beautiful yet is actually tragic as the earth is changed by our hands. The embossment shows the ground that will be left after the final destruction of our environment--barren and rocky.
Polluted Skies41 7/8" 29 7/16"This is a reduction print. Each layer is taken away as a brighter color is added. The sky would not have bright orange and red sunsets without us polluting the atmosphere and creating this piece while destroying the wood it was carved from becomes very symbolic of human nature. The print has embossment at the base up into the print itself. This airiness allows the viewer to see a more beautiful simplicity that could exist with better protection of the environment.
Frigid Water14" x 41 7/8"This is a print of meltwater from a mountain. Often, when mountains and their peaks are thought about, they are frigid and cold; however, they are deemed beautiful and alluring. The continuous melting of glacial waters leads the cold attraction to wash away and become isolated from passes once traveled and deemed sublime.
Desolate Mountain14" x 41 7/8"This is a twin print to Frigid Water. They are shown side by side representing the deep color within Frigid Water and the lack of color and inspiration within Desolate Mountain. Although the mountain itself is stunning, the heart it held has washed out leaving it barren up in the sky. The colors of both prints are cold; however, this print has a harsher quality rather than the welcoming aura that Frigid Waters holds.
Orchid6" x 10 1/2"This is a study print of setting off plate to allow the paper to create line work within the print. The pink orchid represents femininity, grace, and joy. The color pink initially not being a "woman's" color until the First Lady deemed it the main color she wore after the War is an interesting topic. Along with the color itself, the meaning behind flowers is something that I deem incredibly interesting and created this print to represent myself in the situation of learning vitreography.
Delta6" x 4.5"This is a rollover intaglio vitreograph. It is created from a bitmap that was transferred through rayzist and finally upon the glass matrix itself. It shows a delta and all of the outlets of water that surround it.
Crop6 1/2" x 12"This is a multi-plate vitreograph created using cut vinyl from a vector image of a personal photograph. It represents the crop land found in the midwest. This piece is meant to show the similarities between many fields as well as the vastness of the growth of agriculture. It also shows the cropped nature of the land and the separation of plots from higher ground, creating a new environment upon the earth.
American Agriculture6 1/2" x 12"This is a ghost rollover of one layer from a vitreograph after it picked up the first plates ink in the process of printing. It represents the american monopolized agricultural system and the constant bleed from one step to the next. The straight set of a "bleeding" green describes the state of the agricultural system right now.

The Backwoods12" x 16"This is a reduction vitreograph created off a vector image and transferred through vinyl cuts. Each layer was added upon the last and sandblasted away, deeming registration incredibly important at all steps. This piece was created as a showing of the woods that I visited for days upon end in a back corner often unvisited. They were a calming place to think and inspire my work and eventually lead to me wanting to show this location itself within a print. It represents where I feel most at home as an artist and allows me to challenge myself in vitreography to test color, registration, and what I deem necessary to show. I feel as though this piece can bring joy and a sense of piece to the viewer.
