I am a diverse artist with a foot in two worlds. I have my own business creating custom lettering design and illustration for advertising, book covers, film titles and corporate identity.

My other world, and at times it is otherworldly, is fine art. I work in several media, but am currently doing drawings in powdered pigment and water. They resemble lithographs or etchings, and evoke landscape, memory and dreams. I have recently had solo shows in Ballard and Greenwood, and was part of the "What Does Compassion Look Like?" exhibit at Art Exchange Gallery.

I hope you will visit my websites. At Iskradesign.com you will find a wide range of work in letterform design and illustration. At Iskrafineart.com you will find my most recent prints and drawings, and essays on the garden, politics and other sources of inspiration. [less]
