‘Monstera Deliciosa’ 2020

Linocut on paper
50cm x 65cm
Limited edition of 20

Also known as the Swiss cheese plant this tropical flowering plant is native to southern Mexico. They make gorgeous indoor plants with their bold statement leaves, but they can also grow very large in jungles, being climbers.
The holes in their leaves allow them to spread out further without using energy to grow the extra leaf areas! It also allows tropical downpours to pass through and not damage the plant. Clever huh?

An evergreen perennial native to Costa Rica, I just love their velvety leaves! This handsome fellow lives with me, loving his sunny position near my living room windows.

The emerald ripple peperomia, is a crinkly leaved perennial from Brazil. Great as an indoor plant, I have also grown small ones in terrariums.

‘Van Life, Boulders’ 2018

Linocut on paper
55cm x 81cm
Limited edition of 10

This composition is an imaginary one, created from a photograph taken inside a Kombi I used to own, and a photograph taken on a trip to Lennox Head. The surfboards were added. This leisurely van life scene, cruising coastal roads could be anywhere however.

A block this size takes approximately 50-60 hours to draw and carve, and then another 4 hours or so to print the edition by hand – no press involved! 🙂

‘Summer Frangipani’ 2018

Mmmmmm, I can smell the gorgeous scent on the summer breeze now. Tropical frangipanis (or Plumerias) bursting into bloom are a sign of warmer weather on the way.

‘Soldier’s, looking to Norah Head’ 2018

Linocut on paper
50cm x 65cm
Limited edition of 15

This composition is one straight from my phone, taken on a holiday to the Central Coast of New South Wales. Soldier’s Beach has these incredible rock formations, covered in nearly neon green mossy seaweed. I loved rock hopping and exploring the pools. A little further up the coast is Norah Head and its lighthouse.

A block this size takes approximately 20-30 hours to draw and carve, and then another 4 hours or so to print the edition by hand – no press involved! 🙂

This composition is straight from my phone, a photo I took of the local surfing club at Shelly Beach on the Central Coast of NSW. The boards were placed there by the riders, as the comp went on. Bateau Bay can be seen in the background.

‘Pandanus Fruit, Miami’ 2018

Linocut on paper
43cm x 32.5cm

This composition is one straight from my phone, a serendipitous find one early morning walk along my local beach. Pandanus are my favourite tree, and their large fruit pods are really interesting. This one must have washed up from another location.
