Colibri (Hummingbird) is inspired by my interactions with these birds. I always feel lucky to see these fast moving birds on occasion. I felt compelled to slow down time and freeze one in midair, and that's how my Colibri artwork was born.

I created Colibri by hand-carving each detail into a single block of linoleum, one color layer at a time. After printing the first layer of color, I permanently removed that layer by carving it away, and revealing the next layer. Then I printed the next color layer on top of the previous one. Repeating this process and allowing my oil based inks to dry for two weeks in between each layer. I did three color layers in total and two different color variations. By the end of the process my lino block was destroyed and I can never reprint the design.

Printed one at a time on recycled fine art paper with linseed oil based inks. Hand inking techniques create unique prints, each one an original. Colors vary during the printmaking process, photos are representative of the print you will receive.

This unframed original linocut print comes with an archival mat and archival backing board. Fits an 8"x10" frame (common frame sized, widely available). Frame not included.
