In 1998 I did a charcoal drawing which hangs in my bedroom. This drawing was the starting point for my 8-color linoleum block print. The inspiration for the imagery was the view from my home on the Connecticut River in Vermont. I can see that there are elements of my time in Alaska which contributed to the image as well. This print is a refinement of all those influences leading to this still, cold night image. In northern latitudes the ice and snow of deep winter profoundly embrace the landscape. On this still, clear night the moonlight reflects on an open lead of water below, behind spruce trees, heavily draped in fresh snow. The utter stillness of the scene is an experience I bring from my ten years in Alaska and many winters in Vermont.

By the way, a "lead" is an open expanse of water in an otherwise frozen surface of the ocean.
