Hannah Lunstrum is a linocut printing artist, based on Orcas Island who has carved many incredible prints portraying the beauty of our forests in the San Juan Islands, broad landscapes and horizons, and awe-inspiring reflections of human life. She prints with nothing black & white and color ink.
“Carving is an act of destroying and subtracting to create something new. I draw inspiration from nature and humanity and seek to inspire that love and appreciation in others through my work.
I fell in love with printmaking for it’s graphic quality of lines and patterns; the repetitive nature of printing yet the chaotic imperfections of texture and ink. Soft and strong, power and grace, I’m drawn to the paradox.
A constant observer, I’m a critic and lover of humanity, preferring to withdraw and engage from a distance through art, reading and small circles of friends.” -Hannah
