ABOUT THE ARTWORK

On the Beach, I can hear the sea, it sounds beautiful, so restful and so eternal, unmovable, which makes me feel safe and protected. A large blue and white linocut looks deceptively simple, but can actually be right there with the most difficult, to make an image really work when you only have 2 "colors" means you have to look at things in a different way. I hand carve the linocut plate, and it is great fun to add all the details to really get the beach feel. This is not the sun bathing beach really, it is more wild and wonderful with birds, marshland and all kinds of drift wood washing up, my kind of beach! I use a fantastic printmaking paper, crisp white with a velvety surface, heavy weight, and the best waterbased ink. All my linocuts are handprinted by me, the artist, and I sign, title and number each print. "On the Beach" is printed in a short edition of 60 prints, you might not receive the number seen in the photograph. The linocut itself measures 16" x 23", (40cm x 60cm ) and the beautiful piece of clear and crisp white Fabriano Artistico 300 grams printmaking paper measures 27" x 19", (70cm x 48cm) Linocuts are wonderful graphic pieces of printmaking, that can make for a real focal point in your room, you are so welcome to ask me about framing advice etc. I'll mail your linocut to you protected by tissuepaper and cellophane, it comes with a flier explaining what a linocut is. If you have any questions just get in touch..... that's what I am here for! Thanks for looking, Mariann

Almost 20 years a full time printmaker and I am as much in love as the day I pulled my first print! My presses have moved with me, from Borneo to Singapore, from Singapore to Spain, and now on to Denmark, where I have set up my studio and gallery. I am self taught, a book, a way to thick copper plate and a gallon drum of nitric acid, making every mistake you could, and learning, learning as I went along. I started with etchings and added linocut when we moved to Singapore. Here I also taught printmaking at Singapore Tyler Print Institue, picking up and learning from the master printmakers there. I never want to be too "old" to learn, to challenge myself, to do better! My inspiration comes from a variety of sources, I have no single line of work, but prefer to make images as they come into my head, through books, I love to read, through radio, music and a huge part, from my daily dogwalks, that not only provide inspiration from nature but also moments of contemplation that results in many of my prints! All my prints are printed on best quality printmaking papers (favorites are Magnani, Fabriano, and Hahnemuelhe) with Charbonnel etching inks.
