A small selection from a series of intricate limited edition silk screen artworks of flowers, insects, frogs and birds. All the images were hand drawn with pen and ink on to acytate to produce the screens for printing, with up to twenty separate screens to produce the final image. The images were hand printed on to 100% cotton paper, with the blending of 2 to 3 colours together on the same screen a particular skill.
The inspiration for the series comes from my passion for gardening and flower growing with the design discipline of the Japanese Ukiyo-e wood block prints of the 19th century.
