Each May, Hawthorn hedgerows burst into flower, their branches covered in masses of delicate white blossom. This print celebrates the elegance of a single spray of blossom, allowing the intricate flowers and leaves to take centre stage.
Inspired by the coastal landscape of East Lothian, where hawthorn thrives despite the sea winds, the composition reflects my ongoing interest in botanical repeat patterns.
This original motif also forms the basis of my larger Hawthorn Blossom print, where it is repeated four times to create a bold, decorative composition.
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.
