Inspired by the remarkable display of Snowdrops at Prestonhall Estate in Midlothian, this print captures one of the first signs of spring. Looking across the woodland floor, drifts of delicate white flowers are joined by hellebores and vibrant aconites, creating a scene that quietly celebrates the changing season.
This was my largest linocut print to date, allowing me to create a broader, more immersive composition inspired by the landscape itself. The larger scale gives space for the repeating rhythm of the snowdrops while preserving the fine carved detail throughout the design.
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.
