Francine and her Coat

Strength can be quiet, but it always leaves an impression.

This print depicts a woman sitting confidently in a chair, her coat open, a large hat framing her presence, with plants behind her. I created this piece for International Women’s Day in 2019 as a tribute to the strong women in my life. Those who inspire through their courage, boldness, and unwavering action. Each detail celebrates the grace, resilience, and individuality that makes them remarkable.

I carved this print to honour that inspiration, and to remind myself and others of the power of women who lead by example.

Each print is hand-carved and hand-pressed in my Calgary home studio. Because every piece is printed by hand, subtle variations in ink and pressure make each one uniquely its own.

Details:

• Hand-carved 4"x6" linocut print
• Printed on archival paper
• Small batch edition
• Signed by hand
• Matte frame included 8"x10"

For the women who inspire, and the strength that lives quietly in bold moments.
