History
Meridian Press was started in 2011. We feature limited edition fine-art prints and greeting cards of the animals, plants, birds and landscapes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and other natural places. Each print is individually letterpress printed in multiple colors from several hand-cut linoleum blocks. I print these linoleum blocks on an antique SP15 Vandercook letterpress here in my studio. Each color of each individual print is hand fed separately though the letterpress, so for a limited edition of 100 prints that have five colors in them, I will press paper through the letterpress 500 times. The greeting cards and handmade books are all letterpress printed as well, some from my collection of antique wood type. Everything at Meridian Press is created using all cotton archival papers.
