Linocut printing is a traditional technique practised for over a century. It is a relief printmaking method in which a design is carved into linoleum. Ink is rolled onto the raised areas and then pressed onto paper or fabric to produce a reversed image.

My inspiration comes from the natural world, such as flowers, plants, and seasonal details noticed while walking my dog. I develop these moments into line drawings that I transfer onto linoleum and carve by hand, removing areas that won’t hold ink so the raised surfaces create the final image.

Once carved, I ink the block and print it onto paper using a press or by hand with a brayer. Each print is made individually, so natural variations in ink, pressure, and texture occur. I value these differences as part of the process, reflecting the authenticity and tactile nature of handmade work, where small imperfections add to its character and charm.
