This is my version of the Three Graces, a famous art subject based on the mythological daughters of Zeus - Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia - who were said to represent beauty, joy and elegance. The deer exude these qualities, while flowers and a full moon follow their every move overhead.

Print Edition: Three Graces, Woodcut
This piece is a "woodcut.” It is in the block print or relief family of printmaking, which refers to two surfaces, one lower than the other, so that the highest surface prints. I hand carve each image with a variety of gouge tools. The remaining surface is rolled with ink and pressed through the printing press. Each print taken from the plate is part of an edition, and numbered. Printed on 100% Cotton Rag Paper.
