Self Portrait
All of my prints and greetings cards are created from hand pulled prints of relief blockprints that I spend many hours carving. Each design is hand drawn, transferred on to carving material and then intricately carved out using a fine scalpel and lino tools.
Once carved, blockprinting ink is brayered on to the carving, paper is lain on top, and then using a baren to apply pressure, the image is transferred on to the paper. Once the ink has dried, colour is applied to most of the pieces using dye inks, watercolour or acrylic paint. The printing and colouring processes obviously differ each time, making each print an orginal piece of art. Most of the relief prints displayed on this website are available to buy at my etsy shop as either limited edition prints or greetings cards. You can also buy reproduction prints and greetings cards at my Red Bubble store.

Above is my studio where it all happens – including my two studio assistants, who dispense advice whenever it isn’t needed 
When I’m not playing about in my studio I enjoy hiking in our beautiful countryside, baking, gardening, yoga, motorbiking and learning a multitude of languages.

Hello Ms. EraserCarver!
I really enjoy your website, and have signed up for your e-mailings. However, I have a question for you:
I teach art at a California community college in a rural area. My class is working on a linocut project, basing imagery on architectural subject matter. My students are beginners, and have never done this before!
To inspire and inform, I’ve shown students images of relief prints, but I discovered your site, and would like to show your architectural imagery to them.
I do not have an interest in copy, selling, etc… of your work. I am an artist myself, and believe in artist’s copyright. However, is it ok to show your images to my students in a slide show, along with other works, for educational purposes? If yes, please let me know, and if you’d like me to inform students of your name/background/site? And if not, I understand…
Thank you for considering this!
Good luck with your projects!

Hi Great to see you at Allendale.
Have browsed through your website-WOW – amazing, what talent. I’ve signed up for emails, your tutorials are inspiring! Will follow you assured success. Best of luck!
Good Day! I first viewed your excellant work while reading our “Woodcarving Illustrated “magazine issue, spring 2012 Issue 58 . I have been a wood carver for some time now and enjoy any and everyting that deals with woodcarving etc. Your craft would be interesting to try. I carve : Santas,Character Cowbows, some animals, Relief Carving and everything that would deal with wood carving. I live in a snall town in the US called Holliday,Texas USA. When I say small I mean SMALL. I think the population is about 1700 + people. So, a hobby is good to have and woodcarving is my choice. I was originally born and brought up in a town in Massachusetts called Danvers. During the lated 1600′s It was called Salem Village. Several people who lived in Salem Village at the time were hung as being witches during the witch hystaria. Along the way, the name of the town changed to Danvers. Salem Town back then was where the people were brought to trial and hung (as witches) . Now,Salem Town is called just Salem, Massachusetts. There are still stores(shops) in Salem which sell items dealing with witchcraft. Any thing for visitors to that town. Well enough of the history aspect. During my life, I had a chance to visit England. I enjoyed it very much. It was only for 3 days. No time for real visiting. well I guess I have ranted on enough. Again, I enjoyed your art and mabe just maybe I could fill in some time and try it. Take Care! Respectfully: William J. Murphy, P.O. Box 114,Holliday, Tx 76366-0114 (USA)
