I visited the Quad City Botanical Gardens in Rock Island, Illinois with my family after the Venus Envy Show in Davenport where I was exhibiting.

Cricket in the Grass - Original Woodblock Print

$20.00
Late summer evenings echo with the sound of crickets chirping. When I let my dog, Grace, out for her nightly — um...er, let’s just say — "respite" I spotted a shiny, black cricket trying to hide in the grass next to the sidewalk. It looked happy. I wished it well. It began to sing as I walked away.

$25.00
I look forward to visiting Door County every year. Even as a child, my grandparents picked me up each summer to enjoy the Door with them. Now I take my own family. This year we discovered a magical place called Ellison Bay Bluff Headlands Park. As we hiked down towards the water of Lake Michigan, we walked past trees growing vertically out of the rocky bluff. The gnarled texture inspired this piece.

Robin's Nest - Original Linocut Print

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 08:21:32 -0500

$20.00
In the Spring of 2008 I documented "A Robin's Life." It is the story of a robin's nest I found in my neighborhood while walking my dog, Gracie. Every day I took a photo of the nest and watched as the eggs hatched. Eventually only one chick of five eggs lived to fly away. I named it Heini which is Celtic for sprightly or active

I am so excited to be able to offer this original, hand-cut, inked, barened, lifted, and individually colored linocut print. The soft look is achieved with metallic pewter water-based ink and cyan gouache applied wet-on-wet to natural colored Japanese kitakata paper. There is a mica-type sheen to the pewter ink that is just beautiful.

Periodical - Original Linocut Print

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:27:21 -0500

$30.00
2007 was the year of the periodical cicada for my region of the country. How do these insects know when 17 years have passed and it is time to come above ground and sing in the trees? It is a magic time.

The first time I remember seeing them was the summer of my 23rd birthday. I was engaged. My father-in-law was the caretaker of a local forest preserve. One weekend he invited us to go into the woods and see these little creatures. I was enthralled. They were everywhere! They were singing above our heads and crawling all around us.. so much life. It was as if they knew they had only a precious few days left on the earth.

Anyway, I was 23 and I tried to imagine what my life would be like the next time I saw the cicadas. I would be 40! What willI look like? Where will I be living? Will I have any children? What will life bring my fiance and I? Then it hit me: I only had a precious few years myself. Maybe I ought to live it like there is no tomorrow just like the cicadas.

In the summer of 2007, when the cicadas first arrived, I was 40. All the things I had wondered were now firm in reality. Now I wonder... Where will I be at 17 years from now? 57 years old. I could be a grandmother! My son will be 32. Life continues to march along. The cicadas make me stop for a moment to wonder what lies ahead and to appreciate where I've been.

$15.00
This little frog was singing it heart out on a fine Spring afternoon in May, 2009 at Morrison-Rockwood's Lake Carlton in Illinois.

Man-Child - Original Linocut Print

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:31:52 -0400

$20.00
This is a portrait of my son when he was in his 'tweens. Not yet a man, no longer a child. It shows that awkward age when nothing seems perfect, nothing is permanent. The passage of time, for the first time, is noticed. Sleep is the only respite, and the only time a mother may look intimately at her son and really see his changing face. Growing into maturity is a natural process. Wabi-sabi.

This is a hand-cut linoleum block print, a hand-lifted artist's proof with deckeled edges. I used Copper Metallic ink on white Kinwahi Japanese paper. It is dated and signed and comes from my smoke-free studio.

Four prints in this series
Image size: 6" x 6"
Paper size: 8" x 8"

Black ink on white Kinwahi paper.
Available here:
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14508031

*** Kinwahi paper is Machine made in Japan of 100% manila hemp. These translucent sheets are embedded with short straight fibers. One side of the sheet is very smooth and ideal for lithography, monoprinting, wood cut, and linoleum cut printing. Although called a white paper, these sheets have a slight buff/eggshell color to them.

Earth Goddess - Original Linocut Print

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:22:22 -0400

$30.00
An Earth goddess is symbolic of the natural laws by which everything is created and to which everything must adhere. Natural law brings order and purpose to a myriad of interwoven eco-systems. When this fragile connectivity is maintained, the earth nurtures us with the traditional feminine qualities of fertility, beauty, and wisdom.

This print shows the world (ecosystems) growing from the mind (order) of the goddess (natural law). The lacy cutwork shows the interconnectivity and fragility of this bio-system. The overall result is that you notice the beauty of the forest scene first, then become aware of the goddess over time.
