This bird portrait is inspired by the Firecrest and I am over the moon how this teeny tiny songbird turned out. It’s the 21st portrait in my bird series. I wanted to make a Firecrest for quite a while but to be honest, I was dreading it a bit. There were 21 colour layers printed.…

This portrait is inspired by the Chaffinch. I have wanted to make this bird for a while and I am really happy to add it to the series. It was most certainly not easy to make this one. Nineteen colour layers were printed for this reduction linoleum print. It is the 20th addition to my…

Here’s the finished new linoleum print, the 19th addition to my bird portraits series. This portrait is inspired by the Blue jay. It’s a reduction linoleum print with 14 colour layers. And I just love the colour palette of this one, I’m a true fan of blue. I printed the last 3 colors simultaneously, which was…

I made 2 colour versions of this larger size lino piece, a pink/purple colour scheme and a green/ purple one, which is not the usual colour style for me to work with but I like a lot actually. They are limited edition print runs. Each print is individually…

New bird alert! Just finished a new bird portrait. The 16th one of my bird portraits series and inspired by the Blue tit. It’s a reduction linoleum print with 17 (!) colour layers. And I’m truly happy with the result, really think it has become a very nice, cute one and a lovely addition to…

Happy and proud to show you this freshly finished reduction linoleum print! It’s the 15th one in my bird portrait series. For this Sparrow I printed 14 (!) colors. Although it is a somewhat sober color palette, and I am a huge color fan myself, I found this color scheme really challenging and interesting to…
