A Client’s Experience of Buying Limited Edition Linocuts - a Great Way to Start Your Art Collection
‘I enjoy the sunset colours in it, and the sense you get of the wave about to crash and the sounds it would make. I like the layers and detail to the wave.
I love its vibrant colour in my office. It’s somewhere I can spend long periods at a time, so to be able to glance/look at it during my time in there brings a lot of enjoyment!’
Callum has been a client from very early on, buying gift items as well as larger originals. While he was studying for his masters, he was spending a lot of time in his office and needed something on the walls to give his eyes a break from the screen and lift his mood from time to time.
‘I wasn’t going into Heather’s studio with any clear intention of purchasing the artwork. I was keen to see where Heather was now based having previously made multiple smaller purchases of her products over the years.
I am though always open to buying items that I connect with and I’ve loved Heather’s focus on the seaside, seascapes - of which I’ve bought a mini print, and some custom printed products.
I enjoy {her} themes (specifically taking myself away to the beach/sounds of the sea), I enjoy {her} use of colour, and the layers to {her} work.’
Rush – Limited Edition Lino Print
A snapshot of power, movement, and the magic of the sea.
Rush captures the instant a wave begins to fold — curling and falling, suspended in time, just before crashing back into the sea. It’s that thrilling, gravity-defying moment that makes your heart race. Imagine a surfer poised to glide through, or yourself simply standing still in awe.
Set against a vibrant blend of tangerine orange and lemon yellow, the wave wraps itself around the page like an embrace. Five rich shades of blue and bold whites collide in motion and light, celebrating the energy and raw power of the sea — particularly the ever-changing North Sea, where I find much of my inspiration.
Whether calm or chaotic, the sea is never still — and Rush pays tribute to the beauty in its wildest forms.
The Process
This piece was created using the lino reduction technique — a single lino block, carved back layer by layer, with no way to reverse or replicate the process. With each of the six hand-printed layers, more of the block is destroyed, making this edition truly one of a kind.
Printed by hand using Cranfield Relief oil-based inks on Fabriano Unica 50% cotton paper, the surface holds colour beautifully and offers a subtle texture that brings light and life to every stroke.

Callum purchased online but wanted to come and check out the studio so booked in to take a look and collect his piece (you can book a visit here)
He told me about what it was that drew him to my work…
‘{!} know from having purchased multiple products that the end results of your work are always fantastic quality and I’ve always enjoyed my items. You are also very active on socials and emails and you can tell/sense your passion for your work.’
While in the studio, he and his children picked out some cards and smaller items too….
‘Ultimately you were happy to just see me (and my little ones) at the studio for a visit, which meant that I felt like it was a natural spur of the moment purchase and one I was instantly happy with. You were able to take payment swiftly and hassle free. You offered to package up the print if I needed you to which was appreciared!’
