From summers spent perched high above the Southwest Virginia mountains, hand-painting Outdoor Advertising billboards to mastering the intricacies of silk-screen printing at SunFire Graphic Studio in Tazewell, Virginia, I learned to respect the tactile, traditional techniques that would define my work for decades.
