Multiblock Print

In wild meadow edges lupines stand like sentinels of summer. In shades of purple, pink, and white they’re allies for the permaculture garden.

Their deep roots dive down like underground miners and capture nitrogen, transforming it into plant food. When autumn comes and you cut them back, their generous leaves become perfect mulch, feeding the soil for seasons to come.

It’s as well a plant for the pollinators. The flower spikes hum with the busy work of bees and butterflies, turning nectar into honey.

All my artwork is handmade and original with a mix of limited and open edition linocut prints. I design, carve, press and pull the prints in my studio in the Laurentides, Canada.

Please note: Because of its handmade nature there may be tiny variations to the picture. Be this colour, evenness of ink or other small differences.
