Inspired by a white Hellebore growing in my garden, this print explores the remarkable colour palette of one of winter’s most elegant flowers. Pearly white petals are contrasted with fresh lime greens, rich foliage and deep aubergine stems as the plant begins to flower towards the end of winter.
Printed over four carefully built layers, the colours develop gradually from light to dark, creating depth while allowing the carved detail of the flowers and leaves to remain crisp and delicate.
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.
