Lino prints & small paper works

Small observations,
carved by hand.

I'm Joyce, a printmaker based in the Bay Area. I make hand-carved prints inspired by places I've been, nature, and things that catch my eye.

There's always joy. Find the joy.

All prints

Original lino prints, made in small postcard-sized editions.

Each print begins with a drawing, then is slowly carved by hand into a block before it meets the paper.

Custom Hand-Carved Stamps

I make custom stamps from your photos and ideas, whether it's a beloved pet, a favorite place, or something meaningful to you.

Each stamp is designed and carved by hand, then mounted on wood to be used and kept over time.

I take on a small number of custom projects at a time, so I can give each one the care and attention it deserves.

$150per custom hand-carved stamp

Optional ink pad +$10

Sales tax and shipping calculated separately.

Please allow at least 3 weeks for completion.
