Opus 2021

Cacti in Grandmother’s Pots

Hand-printed, hand-colored linocut

HONORABLE MENTION

Artist Statement

I love succulents and cacti.  They always remind me of the cacti that were on my grandmother’s windowsill as I was growing up.  And I wanted to use the wonderful pots that were left in my mother-in-law’s shed.  So this is an homage to two pretty wonderful grandmothers.

I grew up on a farm west of Boise, and I still love growing stuff!  Vegetables, flowers, cacti, succulents….  It’s so satisfying.  And being surrounded by greenery and beauty is  kind of like living in a sanctuary.  It’s very peaceful.  I love bringing this imagery into my art.  Along with my sister imagery.  They’re both part of who I am.
