Snowdrops

Small but determined, Snowdrops celebrates one of the first signs that winter is beginning to loosen its grip. I’ve always loved these delicate little flowers — they look fragile, yet they push their way through cold ground and difficult weather, returning year after year. For me, they’ve become a symbol of optimism, resilience and strength in numbers.

This original reduction linocut is hand-carved and hand-printed, using crisp whites, soft icy blue, fresh greens and deep charcoal to give the snowdrops their bold, graphic quality while retaining their delicacy.

The dimensions listed refer to the actual hand-printed area of the artwork, rather than the overall paper size.

Each reduction linocut is titled, editioned and signed by hand on the front, beneath the printed image.

When mounting, I recommend having the aperture cut to reveal approximately 1.5 cm of paper around all four sides of the print. This allows the title, edition number and signature to remain visible and gives the artwork a little breathing space within the mount.

For this reason, I list the printed image dimensions rather than the paper size.
