I am just learning printmaking, and my focus is on relief prints, specifically the linocut. My passion for this artform is what drew me to Ms Johansen-Ellis. Her linocuts are sharp and detailed. I especially love the subject matter of this piece because of the strong symbolism she embedded. Printmaking is certainly a powerful medium for conveying messages, and Ms Johansen-Ellis has mastered both message and technique in this vibrant work of art. I enjoyed having a note from her in which she shared her concerns that the piece arrive safely and that I value it after receiving. It did take a bit longer to arrive in the United States from overseas, but her secure packaging kept it well guarded against our post office!

Dear David, how lovely to hear that you are exploring printmaking yourself! I, of course, think it is the best thing in the world, and the most fun! Thank you also, for your very kind words about my work, they are really appreciated. I am sorry about the long shipping time, it is as always a struggle between price and time. Denmark is one of the most expensive places in the world for shipping, and courier mail (quick) becomes so ludicrously expensive I might as well close up shop ;o) so I have to rely on good old snailmail, having said that, it is not the mails fault, but as always, US customs are the culprit for taking so long, i always envision this one guy, in a huge warehouse, with a hand held scanner, and when he sees a tube from me, he thinks, "ahh, her again...." , but still, I am sorry, if I could change it I would!! :o)) Mariann

I receive compliments from every single person that sees this print. I have it framed in a thin profile wooden gilt frame with an off-white mat and it is stunning! Came in today to look for more! Thank You Mariann!

Really beautiful linocuts that look fantastic once framed up. The prints were very well packaged and dispatched very quickly. Marian was very helpful in resolving a minor issue and it is clear that customer satisfaction is her top priority. I cannot recommend Marian and her artworks enough!

Yet again a beautiful linocut, true to the photo on the website. In addition, Mariann added to the package some postcards of her linocuts and a lovely bookmark which was immediately put into use. Thank you Mariann. I know I shall be ordering more of your work!

My amazing new Linocut arrived a little delayed (courtesy to the Australian post). I love the Artwork, it looks even better than on screen as the colours are much more vibrant. Mariann was super helpful and answered my questions very swiftly. It's the first time I bought on Artfinder and will definitely be back for more!

how wonderful that your nest arrived, and yes, it was a bit slow! I am so glad you like it, and is that not true, that linocuts and printmaking in general looks so much better in life than on photographs as they are anything but flat. I am super happy that your first artfinder experience was so good and thank you so very much for my lovely 5 stars! very appreciated!! All the best and happy spring! Mariann
