This fig print represents, in many ways, my life as a Californian: I live just up the street from Mission Street that eventually leads to the “queen” of the California missions, Santa Barbara. Figs are also known to grow and thrive in inhospitable locations: perhaps a metaphor for the global situation we are in now. 50% of the proceeds will go to the local Santa Barbara Food Bank ($5 goes to the non-profit and $5 covers the cost of the materials) Although I realize that this gesture is incredibly small in comparison to the burden so many are suffering/ feeling right now, I feel that it is important to give back in some way since I am able.

My original designs are created by hand-carving and printing soft-cut linoleum blocks. Due to the nature of printmaking by hand, each image will be slightly unique.
