This is an original linocut print inspired by the Hippie Kitchen Garden of the LA Catholic Worker. This design is meant to capture the fullness and warmth of community at the LACW that I experienced most tangibly among the relationships I built surrounded by birds and flowers at the Hippie Kitchen & Garden, where we served beans, salad, and bread 3 times a week and offered services like foot care to unhoused folks living on Skid Row.
