Description
This collection was inspired by the plants growing in my garden and the shapes and symmetry found in nature. The bright colors and bold patterns evoke summer in my mind, and I picture unfurling a quilt on the ground for an outdoor picnic. Each print starts with a hand-carved linocut and embraces the texture and striking shapes that are a signature of printmaking.
