toMAKE PRESS

In 1998 I founded toMake™ Press for limited edition maps and prints from observation and response through listening, direct-contact® and joy for the body of the earth. In 2001 I began work full-time at the Press. To-date I have over eighty original maps and prints in limited editions. There are also six performance maps as well as original artist books and paintings.
