I did make 3 colour variations for this xl flower reduction linoleum piece. Upfront I actually had totally different colour combinations in mind, but along the way it showed that a work has a mind of it’s own and a lot of colour experimentation and test printing was needed. I’m very happy with the result,…

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,…

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…
