Original Prints: Lino-Cuts

"Honeymoon at the Sylvai"

$115

This piece was inspired by a photograph I took of a famous old hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia. It is called the Sylvai Hotel and sits on the north shore of the English Bay. It was a beautiful location for my husband and me to spend our honeymoon. I was trying to take a picture of him (corner room on the third floor) but when I got the film developed I saw a very contrasted (sort of yin-yang) picture of the hotel that I thought would make a nice abstracted lino-cut.

"Honeymoon at the Sylvia" is available in an edition of 40 and measures 10 X 9 inches. It is printed on a slightly off-white paper. Shipped with matting, the piece measures 16 X 15 inches. Lino-cut 1998.


"Scratch that Itch"

$110

This is a lino-cut I did in a workshop with well-known equine artist, Sam Savitt. We had an actual 'horse model' who was not the MOST cooperative model I've ever rendered.... However he did provide wonderful inspiration for this piece, as did the beautiful tree that he was tied underneath.

"Scratch that Itch" (edition of 30) measures approximately 11 X 8 inches (unmatted) and is shipped matted to the standard frame size of 16 X 14 inches. Lino-cut 1998.


"The Opportunists (Audad Sheep)"

Lino-cuts printed on black paper with white ink. Limited Edition, S/N. Dimensions are 24"w X 18"h, $200

Susan encountered these three strange little beings on a visit to a wildlife park. As they surrounded her vehicle so she could not escape without first feeding them, Susan noticed how they stared at her seemingly frozen for many minutes. To her, they resembled small space aliens who were attempting some sort of mind control over their victim. Susan escaped with her life (minus several pellets of grain) but never forgot the repeating rhythm of their beautiful horns and yellow eyes."
