The linoprint ‘Heart Corolla‘ is linoprint, created in my studio in Melbourne in 2011. I have printed a very small edition at the Australian Print Workshop in Fitzroy, Melbourne. The inspiration for this work was the immeasurable beauty of the flower Peony.  It is printed in a dusty dark pink colour. The background and the flower are carved by hand in continuous horizontal lines.

The artwork ‘Ana Pavlova 3’ is an original print, in the technique of linoprint, created and carved by hand in my studio in Melbourne in 2011. This work was inspired by the enormous beauty of the flower Dahlia. I have printed only a few prints as unique states, at the Australian Print Workshop in Fitzroy. Unique state refers to the print being unique and containing unique elements that cannot be exactly reproduced. The titles carry names of famous heroines from art and literature, such as the famous ballerina Ana Pavlova.
