Here’s a woodblock print that I created in 1992. I found a scan of it while cleaning out my hard drive and I guess the fact that I’m a momma now brought a new level of meaning to the piece. It was based on a photograph of a Thai woman. She had a large amount of material draped on top of her head and it really lent itself to the medium of woodblock printing.

Ahhh, 1992. What a time that was – there were no blogs, no facebook, no photoshop. I actually took a summer class that same year learning how to use a new computer program on a *get this* “Commodore Amiga.” Remember commodores? My earliest memory of commodores involves writing programs on the display computers at K-mart when we were about 9 or 10. You could write a few lines of code and it would repeat your name over and over and over again. I could never get it to work but my sister was quite good at it. She’s now a system administrator for one of the super computers at NOAA and I’m a nurse. Go figure.
