Beach Love (2026) Collagraphs by Mariann Johansen-Ellis

Loving the beach, loving being together, real beach love.

A collagraph, means that I have on a piece of cardboard, made cuts, removed the first layer of cardboard to create mid tones, cut a bit deeper and removed more of the layers to get the really dark blacks, where I want light colors, I have added lacquer so I can clean that area really well, all this is time consuming. When I have done my cutting, the plate needs to be shellaced to protect it. Because of the fragility of the cardboard plate, I get very few prints, in my mind that makes it more fun for me, it is a very creative way of making prints and you will see more of them in the future.
I have printed 16 prints, and that is it, they all come with small difference one to the other, I hope you will treasure this as part of the handmade process.

I have signed, titled and numbered each print.
Please note you might not receive the number in the photo

The beautiful warm white paper measures 27" x 15" (68 cm x 38 cm )
and the actual printed area measures 23" x 11" (58 cm x 28 cm )
The print is striking and can frame large if you wish to make a statement piece.

I ship from Denmark, with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my many happy reviews.
Thank you for looking, Welcome back, Mariann
