  • Handmade with love in my home studio, this linocut has been created using the reduction technique. The design is drawn onto a linoleum block, carved, inked with colour and transferred onto paper using a printing press; all entirely by hand. This is an original handmade piece of artwork and not a digital reproduction.

  • This artwork has been produced in a limited edition and no more will be created beyond the marked edition number of 16.
