Magnolia

Handmade linocut print

Dimensions: 11,5 x 15 inch (30 x 40 cm)

Femininity isn’t about pink or dresses. It is the quiet confidence of being unapologetically yourself, soft and strong in your own way

Created using the ‘reduction method,’ this technique involves carving a single lino block in stages to build up layers of color. Here 5 layers have been created.

Reduction Print

This piece began as a personal revelation. It’s telling the story of discovering that true femininity isn’t about conforming to colors or expectations. But it is about the quiet confidence of knowing yourself completely.

The blossoming magnolia tree merges with the feminine in celebration of spring’s renewal and self-acceptance. Just as the magnolia bursts into bloom after winter dormancy, so too does the true self flourish when we stop hiding behind others’ definitions of who we should be.

The artwork celebrates the ancient connection between women and nature’s cycles, reminding us that we can be soft and strong, delicate and fierce. We can be traditionally feminine or completely our own version of it.

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.
