Welcome to my little shop on Big Cartel. Thank you for taking the time to check my work out . You'll find original artwork I have printed using the linoprint process. My work is inspired by music, magic, nature and many of my favourite artists. I have always been artistic and into art, but my interest in printmaking began about 5 years ago when I took several screen printing workshops. I became addicted to the creative possibilities and problem solving challenges of the printmaking process. I decided to experiment with lino print a few years ago and I fell in love. I am self-taught and continue to experiment and challenge myself with every print.
All my prints are handmade and printed using traditional block printing techniques. I hand burnish each print using a barren or sometimes a wooden spoon. I don't have a press (although that is a goal of mine!!) so it can sometimes take quite a bit of time to complete my prints. I love it though and you can be guaranteed a lot of care and love go into my prints. :) Oh, and all of this happens in my home! I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
As my shop is fairly new, I am still working to add more prints and of course I am always working on new prints. If you would like to see more of my works in progress and process please visit my Instagram page @ sarahmcphailart and say hello!
