This handcrafted linocut print features a pack of wolves running through a desert dreamscape that doubles as the profile of a woman in motion—her spirit woven into earth, sky, and shadow. Inspired by the wild woman archetype and the beloved myth of La Loba (Bone Woman) retold by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés in Women Who Run With the Wolves. This piece honors the sacred act of remembering and resurrecting the forgotten parts of the wild instinctual self. Ideal for Jungian lovers, story keepers, those walking the path of the sacred feminine, anyone who is enrolled by the rich folklore of the Desert Southwest, this print is a talisman for those reclaiming their voice, instinct, and untamed soul.

The First Edition 2024 prints are now sold out. As each color is hand-mixed, there are slight tonal variations between editions—most notably, the Second Edition features warmer yellow hues in the sky, whereas the First Edition leaned more toward soft pink tones.

PRINTING PROCESS:

This multi-block linocut uses two carved blocks: one for the background sky and running woman’s profile, and another for the wolves, crows, trees, and bushes. The background is printed first and left to dry before the foreground is printed on top, with some hand-painted details added. Because of this layered process and hand-mixed colors, printing takes longer and slight variations are expected. Please look closely at the photos for details, the handmade nature of this print gives it an artisanal crafted quality which is part of its charm and authenticity, setting it apart from a digital reproduction. For a photo of the exact print you’ll receive, please contact me directly I would be happy to do this.
