Dedicated to the medium of Linoleum Block Print and how I was able to honor and love so many plants and flowers with this medium.
In the late 1980's I conceived this idea to carve a series of Linoleum Block Prints based on the plants and flowers of the Midwest. I set out to do 13 prints which I completed in the early 1990's. I did these prints in the summer. My late husband cut the 12" x 12" boards that I glued and mounted the linoleum on. I would draw the image directly on the linoleum and then let the block warm in the sun where I carved it. I carved all of these blocks out at the People's Farm Collective in rural Wisconsin. Printing the blocks came next and I have used Rice paper and collage papers for that.
