Prints - Chimerical Wallflowers

Plants, animals, and human forms merge to form a world of decorative chimerical beings. Inspired by ornamental arts, folklore, archetype, and nature, these images represent the unity, harmony, and balance of living things.

Media
Relief Prints (Linocut), printed on archival paper in small numbered editions. Signed, dated and numbered.

Process
Linocut Relief Printing is a process comparable to making a giant rubber stamp, but upside-down!   I print the images by hand, mixing the ink individually for each print to create variations in ink color, thickness and texture (wabisabi).   I love this process because I can produce as many prints as I want, and yet each print has a unique look: the most irregular prints are often favored by collectors.
