About
"Soaring and Surfing," Black and White Woodcut Print, Edition 10, 35 1/4 x 23 1/4 Inches, is Lisa Houck's newest print, very related to her highly sought after linoleum block folk art inspired prints in shades of blue of birds in various stages of flight and at rest.
Lisa Houck is a quite well established artist from Boston (who has recently re-located to Maine) with a large following devoted to her exceptional paintings, watercolors, mosaics and prints reminiscent of Matisse and Aborigine art, with gorgeous color and a sensibility both playful and serious that is uniquely her own.
This print is not framed.
Houck has also executed many large public art commissions for interior and exterior sites in Boston and nationwide which are ambitious murals in oil or mosaic in hospitals, libraries, playgrounds and other public buildings.
