Artist’s Statement:
My handcrafted, limited edition linoleum block prints combine whimsical compositions, luminous colors and the rustic texture of the linocut to capture the charm and allure of Florida’s rich natural history and cultural heritage.
Each print is made entirely by hand using archival-quality materials. My process begins by hand-carving an image into a block of linoleum. For each impression struck from the block, I apply ink with a hand-held brayer, position the paper on the block by hand, and then pull the block through a hand-cranked press. I apply color to each print with a paintbrush and acrylic washes or watercolors.
Because the hand of the artist is involved in every step of the process, each signed and numbered print in an edition is considered an original work of art.
