Original, Limited Edition Prints
The prints below are original, photo-polymer etchings and relief prints, copper plate etchings and linocuts (linoleum block prints) produced entirely in my own printmaking studio from scenes and locations found on our backroads travel. Each print is inked and hand-printed, one at a time, on my Takach Etching Press in a strictly limited edition before the plate is retired. The colored prints are produced as black and white prints, either intaglio or relief prints, and are then individually watercolored to add accents and interest. All prints will be sold matted, with an off-white, acid-free mat and acid-free foamcore backing. Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, assuring you of an original, limited edition print.

 The Stone Arch Bridge, crossing the Mississippi River at the Saint Anthony Falls in Downtown Minneapolis, stands as a monument to the vision of railroad tycoon, James J. Hill for his Great Northern Railway. A monumental engineering feat at its time, it still remains as the only stone arch bridge crossing the Mississippi.
