A sheet of linoleum, often mounted on a wooden block, is used for the relief surface. A design is carved into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel, or gouge. This leaves the raised, un-carved areas to represent a mirror image of the final composition. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller called a brayer, and then carefully impressed onto paper. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKelli MacConnell was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH. As an avid hiker and adventure-seeking Midwest girl, she made her way to Portland in 2006. She became enchanted by the arts as a child and has always expressed a love for drawing and painting, but it wasn’t until studying art at Portland State University that she discovered her passion for printmaking. Kelli received her BFA with a focus in printmaking in 2012 and enthusiastically began showing her work. Within a couple years of graduating, she made the transition to a working printmaker and has since been enjoying life as a full-time artist and mother.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kelli MacConnell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47899559526654,"sku":"210000030462","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0247\/6087\/files\/IMG_6027.png?v=1777573070","url":"https:\/\/www.artisansbench.com\/products\/douglas-fir-9x30","provider":"The Artisan's Bench","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
