Australian Birds, New Holland Honey Eaters Linocut Prints - Limited Edition Art

My linocut and woodblock prints are meticulously hand-carved with intricate detail and design. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 20th-century Japanese Sōsaku-hanga woodblock print movement and celebrated Australian printmakers like Margret Preston and Barbara Hanrahan, my artistic vision combines the best of both worlds.

I was contacted by senior interior designer, Jamie Lee from Maxam to supply some of my woodcut and lino prints for one of their clients. I printed them all by hand then shipped the prints up to Sydney to be framed by the Frame Shop. It was a senseless process and they did a great job with the framing.
