Just returned home after our seventh cross-country trip. We're always thankful to return safely, but the way the views across this nation change each time we travel is just astounding. As an artist, my first instinct (of course) is to commemorate important things with art. In that vein, I'm using our west coast visit to create a linocut print series of our six favorite sights in California: the Joshua Trees in the Mojave Desert, the Golden Hills, the vineyards of Napa, South Lake Tahoe, the infamous Donner Pass and the iconic Highway 101. No idea how long it will take me to design, cut and print all six linocut prints, but progress posts and videos will soon be available here and on my YouTube channel, @stephaniehooverart.
