Relief Printing

Relief prints are created by carving the image into linoleum and then adding ink with a brayer. Multiple prints can be created from one carved linoleum block. Color can be added after printing with watercolor or document ink or through the reduction method, where the block is printed in one color, the sections to remain that color are then carved away, and the second, darker color is the printed onto the same paper.

​

Shown here are prints from my "symbolic taxonomy" series.

See my blog post to learn more about taxonomy and how it influenced my art.

​

Symbolic Taxonomy prints are limited editions of 20. Prints are sold unframed (10 x 10 in) or professionally matted in white and framed in classic black gallery wood frames with UV glass. Final framed size is 16 x 16.5 in. ​
