Description
The inspiration for this collection was a big bouquet of garden flowers, collected in the early fall when everything is at its peak. Katharine used dahlias, zinnias, fennel, feverfew, and more collected from her own garden as the source material for an original linocut print. These patterns were based off the original linocuts and capture the abundance of a garden at the end of the growing season.
