"At the Gate", Dove Triptych, 2025, 12in x 12in, Linocut over Acrylic
I deeply enjoy knowing that I can now print this gate image over practically anything if I want to. You can do that with painting, but not with the same accuracy and speediness. I wanted to focus on themes of hope and future. Also, my personal experience of anxiety and self doubt. To better depict hope and future visually, I chose to paint these doves different colors. Blue symbolizes calm feelings, vast possibilities, and clear skies. A yellow gold represents optimism, enlightenment, and sunshine. Lastly, green is the universal color of hope, representing renewal, growth, and new ways of life.
"Target Practice", 2025, 7in x 9in, Intaglio Print
My first intaglio print. I was exposed to hunting for the first time when I created this design. Trail camera visuals heavily inspired me. There's something quite odd about stalking an animal in the woods through a camera. I often think this is what posting on Instagram feels like.
"Chill in My Bones", 2025, 10 in x 12in, Two Block Linocut Print
This print depicts the chill and lonesome environment that winter often brings. The air is sharp and my feet are numb, and it feels like spring is years away.
