The Earth’s Fingerprints Series, a curated collection of overpainted monotypes, investigates weathered Scots Pine bark textures and Markle Basalt rock patterns from the Scottish coastline. Each original piece is handcrafted with Cranfield eco-friendly inks, as well as, paints from the land itself, with special color features from my favorite Tennessee creek, Dunbar red rocks, and The Verdancy Project’s rock beach.
I have a dear friend who is a brilliant photographer and creative collaborator. When exploring, she found a fallen Scots Pine, in East Lothian on the Scottish coastline, with glorious colorful patterning. We went to visit, I found some of that very same bark that came off the fallen tree, and I became obsessed with printing it. The shapes and colors are endless; there is a whole world of beauty and metaphor within the weathered bark textures that goes unnoticed.
Cridhe, Heart is an overpainted monotype, crafted by hand printing bark textures and then painting on top of the original, for a one-of-a-kind monoprint. This work includes ethically foraged, handmade earth colors from The Verdancy Project rock beach and UK woad.
This piece is an 8 x 10 inch image on 9 x 12 inch high quality printmaking paper. The border was added for ease of matting and framing.
Please allow for around 2 weeks for packaging and shipping. (Due to being out of the country, items will not be shipped before December 1, 2026. Final date for holiday shipping in the United States is December 17, 2026).
