hand-carved woodcut print of poppies by Vermont-based artist Margot Torrey. She had gorgeous red poppies at her front garden, and this is a fine example of the way her artwork was a tribute to her environment. The print itself is approximately 10" by 8 1/4" (and it is always nice to leave a bit of space around the ink-edge, so bear that in mind when matting or framing). This is a recent print from her original woodblock, using the method she taught me. Please note: each print comes out slightly differently, depending on how the ink interacts with the rice paper. Margot created and exhibited her woodcut art in her barn-studio in Putney, VT from the late 70's until her final Celebration Sale in 2017. It is my pleasure to share my mother's artwork with a larger audience in this way.
