It was the blue-throat bird that initially served as a model for this linoleum print. But along the way I decided to do something completely different with the colours. In other words, completely out of my comfort zone and trying new (not obvious) combinations. In the end I am very happy with the result, the…

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,…
