As part of The Great Charity Pot and Print Fair I’m offering an artist proof of my linocut "Firebird" to be won in a Prize Draw to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

"Firebird" is an original linocut, carved on linoleum and handprinted with oil-based ink in red on heavyweight art paper. Image size is 30x30cm. 

Firebird or Phoenix is a beautiful magical bird believed to die in flames and then rise from its ashes as a new bird. Phoenix mythology can be found in many cultures around the world and this beautiful creature symbolises rebirth, renewal, eternity and hope. Its powerful symbolism has always resonated with me. I came across many interpretations of it but the one I especially like is about facing your fears and finding the courage to get through the struggle in order to start afresh, much stronger than before.
