CREATION PROCESS: A block of artist's linoleum is hand carved into a design which takes between 20-30 hours. It is then covered with a layer of ink. Paper is then pressed on top to create an imprint. This printing process takes about 10-15 minutes for each print. The prints take 3 days to dry.

FOLKLORE INSPIRATION:
This hand-carved linocut is a tribute to the wild woman’s instinct—the fierce, untamed voice that lives in the marrow of our bones, as told in the timeless stories of Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes, renowned author of the book Women Who Run With the Wolves. The Wolf is an ancient, loyal guide who reminds us to trust the cycles of our own knowing: to hunt what nourishes, protect what is sacred, and reclaim what was lost or silenced. May this print awaken your inner howl and remind you that your voice, like the Wolf’s, is a vital thread in the great tapestry of life.

This linocut print is the perfect gift for the wild-hearted soul who, like the wolf, longs to reclaim their voice, roam free, and howl their truth beneath the moonlit sky of their own becoming.
