Featured prints

I create original handmade botanical-themed linocut prints inspired by the British countryside. Every artwork is printed as part of a small batch, making each piece completely unique and full of character. My prints bring a quiet, handcrafted touch of the natural world into your home, and make a thoughtful gift for the nature-lovers in your life.

What is linocut?

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.

DRAW

Each print starts with inspiration, usually from nature, which I simplify and stylise into a line drawing

CARVE

INK

PRINT
