'Java Jive', Hand Pulled Linocut Print, 2021 size - 9x12 inches I mean, everyone loves coffee right? This is a handcarved linocut print depicting an Italian coffee pot, a small cup of espresso and some coffee beans on the table. I am blessed to go to Italy each year with my students, and my purchase of one of these small pots has brought me nothing but joy (let's bring some joy to your life too!) Keep in mind that this is a hand printed image so there will be slight marks and variations. This is also a hand numbered edition of 100, so your number may vary! Each print has my hand written signature in the bottom right corner. A little about me: I am a working artist who is also an associate professor of painting and printmaking and department chair at High Point University in North Carolina. My undergraduate and graduate degrees in art are from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, with additional graduate work at Johnson State University in Vermont. I have also completed several artist residencies, including Vermont Studio Center and SCUOLA di ARS GRAFICA in Venice, Italy. My works have been shown nationally and internationally. Recent exhibitions include the Blue Mountain Gallery in NYC, San Diego Museum of Art and Savannah College of Art and Design. I’ve also shown my work in the UK, Italy, France, Germany and China.
