Item Description
Linocut relief print
by Joan Colbert
The diminutive Lily of the Valley, Convallaria majalis, is a flower of magical legend and lore. This print was inspired by the Irish tale of the faeries that climb the ladders of flowers to reach the reeds which they use to weave cradles.
Lily of the Valley is also poisonous; a second version will be included in my series, As Potent as a Charm.
Artist Biography: Joan Colbert
Artist Joan Colbert works in mixed media with an emphasis on printmaking, mainly relief prints and monotypes. Inspired by literature and influenced by her environs, her artwork is often thematic, frequently including references to her favorite motifs: blackbirds and bare trees. She strives to reach a balance between design and idea and hopes that in each piece there is just enough left unstated to evoke more personal interpretations.
