IDAHERMA WILLIAMS, Color Woodcut Prints.

“My work with woodblock prints explores the beauty of the wood and its transformation into a print. The empty block is a challenge, and the cutting of the wood with my wonderful tools inspires me to go beyond the block.  My love for color explores the exquisite qualities of the flowers, and inking the blocks with a zillion inks brings out the amazing concept of each work. I hand-print each block using a Japanese baren on special handmade papers I select for the print. These prints are in limited editions.”
