 Garden Party
8"W x 10"H Oil Based Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Unframed Limited edition reduction linocut print One of my favourite parts of spring is when an almost innumerable amount of little brown birds take over my back yard. Building nests, calling for mates, looking for tasty morsels - my garden bursts into life for the season. Northern House Wrens are a particularly nice to see with their curved beaks, upturned tails and beautiful calls. Buy it here: http://www.michellewiebe.com/store/p48/Garden-Party.html  Westward Glow
8"W x 10"H Oil Based Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Unframed Limited edition reduction linocut print I love to clear my head by going out for a drive along country roads in the Foothills of the Canadian Rockies. If I time it just right, I can take in the golden hour right around dinner time, when everything is bathed in a rich golden glow. The fields and roads light up especially well in the early beginnings of spring. You can buy it here: http://www.michellewiebe.com/store/p47/Westward-Glow.html  Nimble Feet
8"W x 10"H Oil Based Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Unframed Limited edition reduction linocut print For the past few weeks my neighbourhood has been a rush of activity as the American Robins descend to announce the arrival of spring. Spirited chirping in the bushes and the undergrowth as we start to explode with green new life of fresh grass and tender leaves.

8"W x 10"H Oil Based Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Unframed Limited edition reduction linocut print When it is almost spring in the Rocky Mountain Foothills a funny thing happens to the sunshine; it looks simultaneously warm and cool. The blues are very distinct and crisp and often the best way to tell what the weather will feel like is to look for the wind in the grasses.

Coming up at the end of March, I will be attending the Bowness Spring Craft Fair for the very first time. While I sell prints through many lovely establishments, I like doing fairs for a few reasons:
SO - if you've been following my work online or have come across it in one of our local galleries and are curious to see more, or if you'd just like to stop by and talk shop for a while - PLEASE consider this a warm invite to come stop by at this upcoming market or another in the next few months. I would love to see you! Bowness Spring Craft Fair BCA Main Hall, 7904 43 Ave NW March 28 & 29, 2026 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Free Admission Event Description: Celebrate the season at the Bowness Spring Craft Fair! Discover a vibrant mix of handmade goods, local art, and unique finds from talented makers — including many from right here in Bowness. It’s a welcoming, community-focused market and a perfect way to spend a spring day. I will have a full selection of prints, postcards and handmade goodies.  Prairie Song
8"W x 10"H Oil Based Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Unframed Limited edition reduction linocut print The fluting calls of the Meadowlark inspired this print. Striking to look at, they are unmistakable when you see the bright yellow plumage on the male birds. I was really experimenting with pigment values in this piece, popping the yellows with subtle violet tones in the grasslands.

8"W x 10"H Oil Based Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Unframed Limited edition reduction linocut print One of the most reliable little birds in our Northern landscape is the Black-capped Chickadee. Even on the frostiest mornings, you can hear them sounding their warnings while safely perched deep within the branches of all the bushes and trees.

8"W x 10"H Oil Based Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Unframed Limited edition reduction linocut print The Foothills of the Rocky Mountains are a very special place in autumn. As you walk through the fields in the rural countryside, the breeze inevitably picks up and the leaves weave an intricate dance.

8"W x 10"H Oil Based Ink on Cotton Rag Paper Unframed Limited edition reduction linocut print We are on the last days of autumn where I live. The wind has a chilly undertone and the blue sky has a steely quality that hints at the coming change of seasons. Two mourning doves are observing these signs, marking the occasion with their low, drawn out calls. You can buy it here: http://www.michellewiebe.com/store/p38/Autumn-Vigil.html  This little piece is for something special - recently I became a part of a newly formed group, The Canadian Letterpress Alliance. Our vast, beautiful country is a little under connected when it comes to niche artisan skills. Thankful for a little more glue to hold us together these days!
I wanted this piece to be a little atypical for letterpress exchanges in the sense that I didn't use any polymer plates, engravings, and/or lead or wood type but rather just a multi-block linoleum approach with carved text. I wanted a low-fi but decently printed image to remind us all that we don't need fancy set ups to get the word out there. Remember the power of the press! |
