The remarkable chequered petals of Fritillaria flowers seem almost too intricate to be real. This print explores their distinctive patterning, contrasting pearly white blooms with deep aubergine flowers to celebrate one of spring’s most unusual plants.
Printed in three carefully balanced layers, the restrained colour palette allows the intricate markings of the flowers to become the focus of the composition. As the layers build, the delicate blooms become increasingly stylised while remaining true to the character of the plant.
Printed by hand in my garden studio, each print is individually signed and numbered as part of a limited edition. Once an edition is complete, no further prints can be made from the original plate.

What is a Linocut?
What is a Linocut?
Linocut is a traditional relief printmaking process in which a design is carved into a sheet of lino by hand. Each colour is printed separately, working from light to dark. After every layer is printed, more of the lino is carved away before the next colour is added. Because material is removed at every stage, the original printing plate is gradually destroyed as the image develops, making it impossible to print additional copies once the edition is complete.
I print each edition by hand on my Woodzilla printing press in my garden studio. My editions are intentionally small, so every print is individually signed, numbered and one of only a limited number produced.
