To The Lake 2

This artwork illustrates some of the edible, herbal and/or medicinal plants and trees found growing wild in Manitoba. Depicted here are birch trees, wild ginger, bunchberry, wood sorrel and wild strawberries. This varied edition hand-pulled 3-plate linocut print was created from my own designs I drew onto and then hand carved into pieces of linoleum. I then inked the carved lino, layered my handmade paper overtop and hand-pulled the combo through my roller press to transfer the ink from the carved lino onto the paper. This artwork is matted to 11x14" and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Horizon In The Wind 17

“Horizon InThe Wind” expresses my love of repeating patterns and my need to both create order from chaos and make art that provides a peaceful and meditative experience, where I can lose myself in the creative process. This is one of a collective body of work called “In The Wind”, a series of visual artworks, along with an accompanying poem, that are based on a recurring dream I have where I rise from the ground and fly over land. The overall design is also a repeating pattern when printed in multiple panels alongside each other, or digitized. This artwork was created by hand printing my carved linocut onto ginwashi paper pretreated with acrylic inks. Relief printing is an ancient printing technique where the artist carves a design into a solid block of material, in this case linoleum. Once the design is complete, the block is inked with a roller. Paper is then placed over the block and hand rubbed or run through a press to transfer the inked design onto the paper. This original hand-pulled print is matted to 16x20" and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The Light Seekers 8

Lightseekers is an optimistic piece, filled with the hope and promise that light in the dark offers us. Dragonfly symbolizes living life to the fullest through change brought about from self realization, the opening of ones eyes resulting in maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life. They are also a sign of happiness, speed and purity in motion. Maple brings us the assurance of abundance in life, love, health and prosperity as she is the tree of offering with her unwavering generosity, balance, promise and practicality. Lightseekers is a mixed media varied edition linocut print. It was created by first transferring layers and patterns of varying acrylic colour onto paper using a gelliplate. The outline of leaves and dragonflies was then applied by inking the linocut design I created and hand carved, hand-printing this overtop the acrylic layers with a roll press, adding additional custom inking and a final coat of acrylic medium. This original hand-pulled print is matted to 11x14" and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
