I was was honoured to be commissioned to create portraits of these four brothers. I love making linocut portraits. Distilling someone’s facial features down to relatively few lines is the challenge, but it’s also fairly straightforward.

Tara
Inspired by my lovely wife Tara, this 3-colour linocut is based on a photograph from our amazing trip to Newfoundland.
Self Portrait
One of many (many!) self-portraits I’ve done over the years, I played around with variations in the printing process with this series.
Mom
This two-colour linocut is based on a photo from about 30 years ago, and for those who have never met my mom, I think it really captures her.
Yayoi
I had a difficult time getting the likeness but I think I’ve captured her. I submitted this two-colour linocut print to the Art Gallery of Ontario’sIn Your Face exhibition.
