'Dad' Lino Print

Today is Father's Day in the UK and I am wishing my amazing dad a very happy day! 

For his gift this year I made a small portrait of him in lino. Here are some photos of the making of the print and the final artwork. 

It is currently somewhere between Melbourne and Scotland and not with him yet....whoops! But soon to be with him hopefully!

Mum & Dad circa 1970s

I love this photo of my parents taken sometime in the 70s. For their Christmas present this year I turned it into a wee lino and was lucky enough to be able to give it to them in person, in Scotland! 

Spring Flower Print For Sale!

My limited edition print, 'Spring Flower' is now for sale on my Etsy Store here. This single print evolved from a series of ink drawings that I made of fresh flowers. I had gone on a walk that morning and picked some beautiful wild spring flowers from our neighborhood and took them home to draw. I made about 5 observation drawings in about half an hour as my daughter was napping and I had a very small window of time! I love that the quick, gestural qualities of the ink drawing have remained in the lino cut. I think ink drawings translate really beautifully into a lino print; with each medium offering different and unique properties.

This is a limited edition of 11 prints in dark grey ink. Each print has the edition number (ie 1/11), the title and my signature.

Paper size is approximately 25 x 70cm (very long and skinny!), and the printed image is approximately 17.5 x 45cm.
