An original limited edition linoprint. Handprinted in my studio. As each print is individually handprinted, there may be slight variations in tone and colour. This print is a limited edition of 50. Each print has the title, edition number and signature hand-written in pencil underneath the image. This edition is printed in violet ink on heavy Somerset White Satin paper (300gsm) and the flowers are hand-coloured in pencil. The idea for the image comes from a millefleurs ('a thousand flowers') medieval tapestry in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, which features a rather sad looking unicorn in the midst of a field of flowers. I thought I'd give him a bit more of a starring role and with a spring in his step!

Kate Willows, printmaker, is available for sale online and in our art gallery at Wychwood Art. Kate Willows began printmaking 15 years ago, initially working with etching and drypoint. Exploring printmaking methods that could be carried out safely in her home studio, Kate eventually settled on linoprinting as the best method for her style of printmaking. Kate creates original, colourful and playful linocut prints, which often reflect her quirky sense of humour. She is especially interested in the use of colour and how this can be used to create vibrant and bold prints. Influences include Antonio Frasconi, Eric Ravilious, Robert Tavener, Edward Bawden and Kathleen Hale.
