Female figure, original linoleum block print, number 6 from an edition of 21. The image area is 3" x 5", printed on 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" BFK Rives archival printmaking paper, and is pencil-signed and numbered.

This is one of five images in a series entitled The Girls of Summer. This piece was done from 6 hand-carved linoleum blocks, and printed using a small, hand-cranked press. Each block or "plate" is inked and run thru the press individually for each color, until all the colors have been printed. Depending on the weather, each color can take up to 2 weeks to dry.

Each print is hand-pulled by me. Because my linoleum block prints, etchings and aquatints are pulled by hand, each print varies slightly, in effect making each individual print an original, unlike a “reproduction”, where every print is exactly the same. Colors on your monitor may vary. My prints are released/sold at random. Specific number requests not available.

Unlike a reproduction (gicleé, offset, computer print-outs), this image was conceived and executed solely as a relief print — it is not a "reproduction" of an artwork originally created in another medium, such as a painting or a drawing.

Note: because of the thickness of the paper I use to print on, this print will be shipped flat, not rolled. The print will be sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, and further protected with archival paper.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
