Wood & Linoleum Block Printing
The art of relief printmaking has been practiced for many generations. Artists have used a variety of materials to create images using a two step process. The image is first carved into a block and then pressed into paper. The creative process begins on paper, giving me the opportunity to make changes to the design. Next, I transfer the design to the wood or linoleum block and then use a variety of cutting knives to carve the image into the block. When I am satisfied with the result I roll ink onto the block with a tool called a brayer. After the block is well inked, I lay paper on the inked image. Then, I press a baren, a round disk tool in a circular motion on the paper. The ink is then transferred to the paper and a print is created. Multiple colors are acheived using several blocks, each inked with a different color. Additionally, I sometimes paint with water colors and acrylics to enhance the final appearance of the print. I very much enjoy the process of relief print making and hope you will enjoy the result.

All of my prints are individually printed and colored using water colors.
All prints are available black and white or colored. All prints are matted and ready for a frame
