This is so awesome 👏

Hello there! 👋 I’m Courtney, a printmaker based in Northern California. I create relief prints of quiet landscapes, pastoral life, and imagined worlds. Beyond art, I spend a lot of time chasing my toddler around and tending to my small homestead. #hello #printmaker #art

Guess I should’ve called it “Fermenting”? Anyway, this small 4” square block was a fun challenge for carving tiny details on.

Stumbled upon a snug mushroom field perfect for a nap. Working on my latest linocut print!

Simple or subtle sophistication? A magnificent specimen!

Transferring a new design to linoleum. My least favorite part of the process, but it’s the beginning point for my feelings of anticipation to see a new block print! #printmaking #art #printsky #linocut #cozy

As described this is a very small linocut print of the night sky in blue with carved stars, Milky Way and a line across the sky and a line of silhouettes of evergreen trees in black along the bottom.

For the #Spacetober_challenge day 23 prompt space station I made a tiny linocut print of the track of the ISS across the night sky.

Linocut print reveals never get old. That quiet pause before you lift the paper, right before all the work turns into something magical. #printmaking #art #reliefprint #inktober

He found the astrolabe one night and unlocked the secrets of the stars

Last look over the block before print day. Little imperfections are there...and no one but me will spot the less-than-1mm mistakes. #printmakerlife #art #linocut

Thank you!

Carving the line work of the mountains was very meditative, but now I'm wondering if I might have gotten a little carried away with the details. #ArtSky #printmakerlife #linocut

Finished the trees, and I'm starting to get that halfway-done feeling until I notice the clouds looming over me! #printmaking #linocut #PrintSky #art

Yosemite Valley linocut work in progress. I decided to make my life harder by going with a stippling texture in the area below El Cap. I hope it pays off 🤞

My Echo Lake linocut print. Pondering some updates to this block, but they’ll probably be subtle. I’m always nervous about ruining the design! #art #printmaking #linocut #PrintSky

They’re all beautiful, especially love the bird print, but I’m biased towards printmaking!

Slow and steady carving progress on my newest linoleum block.
