This 2 color linocut was an edition of 22 prints. Christine was a charismatic, funny, adventurous young woman diagnosed with terminal cancer in her mid twenties. She was vivacious, optimistic and happened to love sunflowers -- a flower that reflected her personality well.
This 5 layer linocut was an edition of 8. It shows my late grandfather, Cyril, a gentle and content man.
This screen print was an homage to my mother. It shows the table, bowl and spoon she used to make bread for our family every Saturday morning when I was growing up. The bowl and spoon were her mother's and are things my siblings and I all hope to inherit someday.
This is a screen print of my mother, Vera "Beep" Klister. I wanted to memorialize her obituary in a more artistic way.
This small paper cut was made for a mother to honor a late term miscarriage.
