This series of botanical lino print editions was born out of the inspiration found in the life around my home. They started off as line drawings, in an attempt to get back into my creative flow. At the time, I was going through a period of artistic block and noticed that as I forced myself to work through larger projects, the block grew deeper. With advice from a friend, I decided to put on hold everything I thought I wanted to create and get back to drawing. I started making simple contour line portraits of the plants living in my space. These drawings helped me destress and brought my focus back to the process of creation. These original drawings were left alone for a period of time, seen as I saw them as a creative process exercise. One day as I organised my studio I came across them once again and reminded me of the help they had been, I decided to honor them by making them into linoleum prints, and ta-da, these beauties were born.
