Forest Creatures

$95.00

This limited edition relief print was carved by hand on wood while spending time in Colorado. It was hand-pressed on small-batch paper in 100 signed and numbered editions. The paper is made from gampi fibers and is thin and soft, yet very strong with lightly textured fiber inclusions for an expressive surface and character. Made by an eight-generation company in Tokushima, Japan - the business creates sustainable, eco-friendly, acid-free paper that truly stands apart and an ideal backdrop for my work. The ink is an oil-based, but non-toxic ink handcrafted in Great Britain. 

“This was my first large woodblock print. I wanted to capture a peace and harmony, and unlikely friends among different forest creatures. If you look closely you'll be able to spot a rabbit on top of a turtle, a squirrel smelling a flower, a chipmunk, a tiny bird and some baby owls.”
