During the fall semester of 2008 I was taking a woodblock printmaking class as well as my life drawing class. As I am about to embark on my last life drawing class this fall of 2009 and my senior art show, I would like to begin by looking back on my previous work. One influence on my work by this class, and my drawing 3 class taught by the same professor, is that I came to love wood. This despite the many cuts I received through late nights carving into wood. I also spent much of the class in a state of self exploration. I found myself the subject in many ways of many of my prints.
