2019 Linocuts

This series of linoleum prints are based on Mexican and West African traditions that involve the use of small talisman like objects. In Mexico, the milagro (which means miracle) is a small metal charm that might be carried for protection, healing or good luck or might be hung on the sculpture of a saint or cross. Milagros can be almost any subject depending upon the need. In West Africa, there is a custom of creating amulets worn to protect, heal or perhaps bring good luck. All travelers need luck, helping hands, watchful eyes, and people who will help along the way. 

Hoping Helping Hands are Always There to Assist You
