My Printmaking Creative Process

I make every print by hand from start to finish. First, I carve the design into a linoleum block using sharp gouges — this can take hours or days. When it's ready, I use a brayer to roll a thin, even layer of ink across the block, and carefully lay a sheet of acid-free paper on top. Then I apply pressure — sometimes using a glass baren, sometimes a wooden spoon, sometimes a printing press. The final step is peeling back the paper to reveal the art. Magic! My hands are involved in every single step. Because of this, every print carries its own small variations — tiny imperfections that make it genuinely yours, not mass-produced.

This print might live in a bedroom where love is quiet and steady. On a living room wall where a family glances at it and remembers what they're building together. Maybe it speaks to you as a couple celebrating an anniversary, or two friends who have grown side by side for years, or a parent and child whose bond is something that keeps blooming. Maybe it's simply a reminder that all the relationships worth keeping need a little tending.

Original Red Poppy Couple Linocut Print Inspiration

Do you also find something deeply moving about two people — or two beings — choosing each other, over and over? I carved this print thinking about that. About how connection isn't a single moment but a slow, blooming thing. Whether it's a romance that started on an ordinary Tuesday, a friendship that held you through the hard years, or a family that feels like home — this print is for that.

Poppies feel right for this. Vivid, fragile, and impossibly beautiful when they open. "To grow a garden" is what this print is really about. Not just flowers. The patience it takes. The quiet work of nurturing something together. This bold, tender print is ready for whatever wall, whatever home, whatever bond you give it.
