Lately I’ve been working behind the scenes making a new series of linoleum prints. The series is inspired by my collection of vintage blue and white porcelain saucers and are a tribute to the women in my family. The series now consists of 7 works that can be seen both separately and as a whole,…

Originally the design for this linoleum piece was different. I did draw ornaments in the vase at first. At the last moment I took a d-tour with the vase and decided to carve the stems of the flowers instead of the original decorations and I am very happy with the result! I made a small…

There are 7 colours printed in this bird reduction linoleum piece. It is a limited edition print with a circulation of 24, numbered and signed by hand. The garden warbler is the bird that served as a model for this lino. The flowers and fruits on display grow in our own garden. DETAILS Printed on…

It’s been a long time since I made a portrait and this is actually the first time I made one in linoleum. This XL lino block was a lot of work to carve with all the curves involved in the design and even more challenging to print. But I am really happy and satisfied how…

This watering can and birds linoleum piece is inspired on childhood memories of my grandparents garden. The floral pattern in the watering can is a free interpretation of the blue and white Beatrix table ware my grandmother used to have. DETAILS Printed on Lanaroyal paper, ‘pure white’, 184 lb.

This new XL linoleum piece is matching the theme and size of the two XL linoleum pieces I made last year, as part of a series. It’s the most detailed one thus far and really challenging to carve. I’ve made a print run in three colours: phthalo blue, ultramarine blue and process red. DETAILS– Printed…

I started making this bird being curious if I could do a multi colour piece on this small suface. It was quite a challenge, but a fun one! As well with the color scheme I stepped out of my ‘comfort zone’. Six colour layers have been printed for this bird, made with both linoleum reduction…

It was a sad moment that gave rise for the idea of these lino prints. Light and dark, day and night, it’s all part of life and sometimes difficult to accept. These sun and moon linoleum prints are made with a combination of reduction and puzzle technique. Both have 6 colour layers printed. DETAILS Printed…

I really enjoyed making these greeting card designs. It’s a series of six now, but I can imagine I will make some more to add to this series in the near future. These original linoleum print greeting cards are lovely to send, but also nice to frame as artworks and hang on your wall! They…

Pretty proud about this one! This project is a combination of reduction and puzzle linoleum technique. The result is a handmade original linoleum print with 8 colour layers printed individually. It is a limited edition print run with a circulation of 24 prints! Each print is numbered and signed by hand. DETAILS Printed on Strathmore…
