Biographical Information: "I am a printmaker/painter who teaches printmaking and drawing at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland. I was born in Seattle, but grew up in Eastern Oregon. My most recent works have been landscapes, both real and imagined. 'Signal' seems to me to be a beacon in the night guiding sailors or travelers over the sea or through a dimly seen country side. Since the image of fire is set dead center in my print and is so much brighter than the rest of the piece, I also imagine it to be a focus for meditation. And in my fondest imaginings it may mean something entirely different to the viewer, something recognizable, enjoyable and meaningful on a very personal level." Wyckoff, 1991
