Sharing my handmade linocut art print, “Nestled in My Heart.” Such a sentimental piece for me. As you could guess, I’m a big lover of cats. It’s a depiction of where ALL my kitties reside, past and present. Available on my website, www.maryanntestagrossaart.com.

Here’s a linocut print I haven’t shared in a while, my “Fern Cat.” This print was inspired by the beauty of the redwood forests here in northern CA. This photo was taken in my yard amongst the ferns I have growing there.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon printing my “Curious Cat” print. I used my Pooki Press and then hung the prints on my Pooki drying rack. It’s a great rack that can be attached to a wall or hang off the back of a chair. “Curious Cat” is here, www.maryanntestagrossaart.com #linocut #cat #printmaking

Here’s a kitty I haven’t shared with you. This is my handmade linocut art print, “Stretch.” This is one of my favorite cat postures. Quite often my cats do this when they just get up from a nap. A kitty bow. So sweet. 🐈‍⬛ “Stretch” is available on my website, www.maryanntestagrossaart.com #linocut

Yesterday’s linocut printing. This is a second new tuxedo cat image, inspired by my cat Oreo. 💕 You can see them both drying in the last photo. This block was a challenge to print. I had a few under inked prints in the end 😠, but most printed up beautifully 😊. #linocut #catart #cat #tuxedocat

Yesterday’s linocut printing was challenging. I tried to not get ink everywhere, but managed to get ink everywhere. In the end I had almost as many bad prints as good ones. Sometimes printing is just like that. 🙌 This is a new tuxedo cat print. I’ll be printing another new one today. #linocut #cat

Spent yesterday drawing and carving a new kitty. It was good to focus on a creative project for the day. I was able to put aside all of the concerns that are eating at me, and not think and worry about them. I’m hoping to have a similar today. May the printing gods smile kindly upon me today. 🌞

Getting a little help from my friends. 🐈‍⬛🐈 This week I have been framing 16 of my linocut prints for an exhibit I will be hanging on Monday. Yesterday I laid out my artwork on my studio floor to imagine the space. My cats decided that would be a good time to come supervise. 😊 #cats #cat #artstudio

Two years ago, I did a series of cat angel collages, made up of parts of my linocut and gel prints. I had art prints made of a few of them. The giclees are available on my website, and can be signed and personalized with your cat’s name. www.maryanntestagrossaart.com #cats #art #collage #catart

Sharing the drawing for my next linocut. I’m very pleased with how it turned out, even though I feel I struggle with drawing. Today I will transfer the design to my block material, and maybe even start carving. Next week, printing. 🥰 #printmaking #art #daffodil #flowers
