I am the creative trouble maker who started Two Tables Press in 2010 with two tables and a small etching press. I love making images and books using recycled materials. I have an BFA and MFA in Fine Arts. I am also a art educator, photography assistant and meteorite spotter and cat herder. My secret skill is an odd ability to recognize celebrity voice overs.

Salty was the in-house art critic, paper weight and gravity tester. While she reluctantly tested the static electricity, she enjoyed making biscuits, chasing paper balls, and protecting the house from the menacing ribbon monsters. Her secret skill was ignoring all her other toys to play with a freshly crumpled Post-It note. We miss her dearly.

I am the astro photographer and avid off road traveler. I am also the studio coach and 'clean hands' assistant. I make a mean curry while providing random geography trivia and general jocularity. I also am a Career Development and Organizational Leadership Specialist, and former collegiate Women’s Rowing Coach.

Custom made for Two Tables Press by Takach Press in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this large etching press is named after John's grandmother Mary Gartin who also was an artist and creative troublemaker.

Acquired in July of 2019 at a thrift store in Kingman, AZ by David and Stephanie Van Ness, the "vanPress" is named after this extreme feat of thrifting luck.

The first press acquired in 2010, PFred is a rugged, clunky but small and lightweight press that was used at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and as well as 4 of the states Two Tables Press has resided in.
