Whiteline Woodcuts are colorful monoprints created with watercolor paint.

It was invented as a single block alternative to Japanese color woodcuts in Provincetown Massachusetts in 1915. It was practiced primarily by women many of them queer. This is why it struggled to gain popularity despite the fact this technique is non-toxic, inexpensive, and doesn’t require a printing press. learn more

I fell in love with this technique at Villard Studios in Boothbay Harbor as a teen. I am now working with my mentors there to continue the practice and preservation of this historic American technique.
