In keeping with prints on the theme of birth, here’s a mythological scene I hand carved and hand printed in 1974. I did several prints at the time on imagined goddesses. This is one of them, in celebration of spring.
Birth of the Goddess, Linocut, copyright 1974, Susan Barsel-Herman–Lily S. May’s former married name
I have made art works all my life. Arts of May shows some of my explorations in different media and the inspiration I take from other artists and works. An earlier blog, of humans and nature, concentrates on my photographs of natural places that help my spirit.

Thank you!
This is a fantastic print. I love the sinuous shapes and the composition.
I’m very glad you enjoy this print. I had a great time making it.
It’s often the way that enjoying the creative process leads to the best results. I find Lino cutting to be so therapeutic.
