The following image is a print from PSU's Permanent Collection. As I have focused in on letterpress printing and fabric printing through my other printmaking and art experience, I was naturally drawn to this work from the Permanent Collection. I am not as much drawn to the apparent religious scene; however, I appreciate the sketchy carved woodblock which was used to print.

The following images are a series titled Ambiguity 1-7 that I developed in the Fall of 2013 during a printmaking independent studies course. The first image is a digital compilation of several photographs I have taken. The last six works in the series represent how one image can be represented in many ways, it is almost metaphorical in how humans are all the same in flesh but our individuality sets us apart. Every element of each piece is unique to itself, including the way in which it is hung. This series was included in the "Collective Independent's" exhibition in the second floor gallery of Pittsburg State University's Porter Hall in January 2014.
