My linocut shows a young Olga Ladyzhenskaya in profile, from the shoulders up in a gradient of navy blue at the bottom to pale burgundy at the top on cream coloured washi paper. She’s wearing a shirt and jacket with her hair up. She’s facing some text, carved in reverse, with some words in Russian and mathematics. The text explains this is the system of Navier-Stokes equation, initial and boundary conditions. Below her is a diagram of laminar flow eddying into turbulence. The text reads "систему уравнений Навье — Стокса" which means 'a system of Navier-Stokes equations' and also "для функций" which means 'for functions' and "при граничных и начальных условиях" which means 'under boundary and initial conditions'.

My linocut of Alicia Boole Stott as a middle aged woman surrounded by shapes related to her research on 4D polytopes including her 3D unfolding of a hypercube, her drawings of the 3-principle sections of the 600-cell, her expansion of the octahedron- a truncated octahedron, and sections of the 16-cell. Printed on cream coloured washi, she’s printed in raspberry. The outlines of shapes are printed in bronze. A vertical stripe of shapes have brightly coloured faces in yellow, red, orange and blue. She used colours to indicate how they fit together in 4D.

My linocut portrait of Marjorie Rice with 4 groupings of her 4 pentagonal tiling patterns in pale orange, pink, purple and lime. Her shirt is a pattern of orange butterflies and white daisies on a dark green background. The pattern is based on the orange pentagonal tiling. She is shown in green with a background of yellow at her neckline to lime going up with lines and details overprinted in dark green. She is smiling at the viewer.

My linocut print of the Pigeonhole Principle shows Dirichlet in blue, a bearded man with heavy brow, wearing a suit with arms crossed, looking a bit cross. Behind him is a bank of pigeonholes in a gradient of blue to gold. Each one contains one or two pigeons in black on grey with turquoise and violet markings. The pigeonholes may extend infinitely in all directions - the shelves appear to go on beyond the 4 x 7 array of pigeonholes shown.
