Arctic fox on #Svalbard, from June 2024 #ArcticCircleResidency. Thought of the Arctic keep me sane during this political chaos

Another bowhead whale and her calf. It’s #WorldWhaleDay! They are from last summer’s #ArcticCircleResidency in Svalbard. #printmaking #linocut #reductionlinocut

#Reindeer in Svalbard, from my #ArcticCircleResidency in June 2024. #Linocut print. Reindeer are survivors, altering their migration and food choices in order to thrive in a warming Arctic. Wildlife aren't just passive victims of climate change. #printsky #printmaking #printmakers

banner photo upload: one or two of the Seven Glaciers of the many glaciers of Svalbard. I spent 2 weeks last month sailing with other artists and creators as part of the #ArcticCircleResidency, and counting glaciers was perhaps not our collective strength.

Hey, it’s #internationalPolarBearDay! Here’s a polar bear eating a reindeer from my June 2024 #ArcticCircleResidency on Svalbard—where polar bears are thriving because they’ve started hunting #reindeer. #linocut #reductionlinocut #printmaking #printsky

Here's another linocut from my #ArcticCircleResidency in June on Svalbard. We were anchored in the pack ice and saw a bowhead whale beside the ship. Here's the final linocut reduction, me painting on the deck, the first watercolor in my sketchpad, and a second watercolor from a bird's eye view
