It’s printing day (layer 2) for Prairie Fire! *Fire* is definitely the right name for it! Check out my website to pre-order Prairie Fire for your collection or to learn more about this print and the inspiration for it. emilygraykoehler.com/products/pra... #printmaking #fineart #woodcut #monarch

Spent Friday printing the first layer on Prairie Fire, my newest reduction woodcut. This one will be a challenge, but hopefully worth it! Great River Press is open today until 4pm. We will be closed tomorrow 8/30 through 9/4. We reopen Saturday 9/5 through Labor Day Monday! #fineart #printmaking

The gallery is hung and ready for the Great River Press GRAND OPENING this Saturday, 11am - 6pm! This is the first time I’ve have proper wall tags in my studio gallery. It may be a small thing, but it makes me feel settled, like this is my studio’s forever home! #fineart #printmaking #woodcut

I printed for the first time in the new space yesterday! I had to dig through boxes and arrange a temporary inking station, but it happened… and now a host of new cards are drying on the wall. The gallery is open Fri-Sun 11-4. Hope to see you soon in Stockholm, WI! #fineart #woodcut #printmaking

The doors are open! Swing by Great River Press for Fresh Art Tour and our soft opening in Stockholm, WI! #printmaking #artstudio #fineart

Thank you to my generous family and friends who took time out of their holiday last weekend to move my studio to my new building in Stockholm, WI! Everything arrived safely including my beloved Takach Press and studio plants. Now on to organizing the chaos of boxes and more! #printmaking #fineart

Today I’m making a whole bunch of new art cards from the proofs of my newest works! They will be available at Art-A-Whirl this weekend at my final event in my NE Mpls Studio (Thorp Bldg. Studio 137) before I move down the river to Stockholm, WI! #artawhirl #woodcut #collage

Today I printed for the last time in my old studio in NE Mpls! May 15-17 is Art-A-Whirl (my last event in the Thorp Building) and then I’ll be turning my focus to the move to Stockholm! Come find me at Art-A-Whirl and help me mark this transition to new adventures! #fineart #printmaking #artawhirl

“Starlight” is finished! I’ve always loved that rich glow of the universe as seen on a dark night when you’re far away from light pollution. I think I managed to capture it pretty well in this newest reduction woodcut! #woodcut #printmaking #fineart

I’m starting the last handful of new works for my June show at Seasons Gallery … This golden hour reduction woodcut, titled Fleeting, is bound to turn some heads! To pre-order or to learn more about this print, visit my website: emilygraykoehler.com/products/fle... #fineart #printmaking #woodcut

Source, my newest reduction woodcut, is finished! This print was inspired by Lake Itasca. Way up in Northern Minnesota, it’s the source of the Mississippi River! At the source, I couldn’t help meditating on the long journey this water was just beginning! #woodcut #fineart #printmaking #minnesota

I just finished printing the last layer on Edge of Dark. This simple reduction woodcut with a moody rainbow roll turned out just how I imagined it! To learn more or to order one for your collection, visit my website: emilygraykoehler.com/products/edg... #printmaking #fineart #woodcut

Printing green trees/reflection on Source. One more layer (black) before this lovely is finished! #printmaking #fineart #woodcut To learn more about Source or to pre-order, visit: emilygraykoehler.com/products/sou...

I’m printing the final layer on Tranquil Chaos today. This print is perhaps a bit more abstract than most of my work. However, late last summer, as I stood ankle deep in a calm Lake Superior, I knew the sparkly, chaotic view before me had to become a woodcut! #woodcut #fineart #lakesuperior

Deepest Dusk is now dry, signed and available for sale on my website (link below). This is one of many new reduction woodcuts I’ll be showing at Seasons Gallery in June! emilygraykoehler.com/products/dee... #printmaking #woodcut #fineart

I’m making progress on Source, a color reduction woodcut inspired by Lake Itasca. This print and many other new works will be headed to my show at Seasons Gallery in Hudson, WI in June! #woodcut #printmaking #fineart emilygraykoehler.com/products/sou...

I’ve been working on this reduction woodcut for over two months! I’ve been pulled in a lot of directions lately, but still… look at all that detailed carving. I can’t wait to see how this print turns out, but mostly, my hands can’t wait to be finished carving it! #fineart #printmaking #woodcut

Big news: I bought a building in Stockholm, WI and I’ll be moving my studio there to open in June 2026! For details and a more nuanced explanation of my plans, motivations and goals, visit: emilygraykoehler.com/pages/studio... #printmaking #fineart

I’ve just finished sketching my next reduction woodblock. This one is going to be a beast to carve, but the winter should give me time to dive in… so to speak! Check back to watch this print develop and to see what else I’m working on for my show at Season’s Gallery next June! #fineart #printmaking

And finally, I present Light’s Last II! Inspired by the sunset over about a half an hour on a single trip out. The sky and its reflection on the water changed from bright and fiery to dark and rich as the waves from the wind and our wake calmed and the evening progressed. #fineart #woodcut #sunset

Today I’m printing the final layer on Light’s Last I. Wow, the black layer really makes this one pop! To learn more, visit: emilygraykoehler.com/products/lig... #printmaking #fineart #woodcut #sunset #water

I just pulled the final layer on Light’s Last III. I took the images that inspired this reduction woodcut at late dusk when the skies were darkening, the waves had calmed and the lake was drifting toward sleep. Learn more: emilygraykoehler.com/products/lig... #fineart #printmaking #woodcut #sunset

The movement in the water is finally coming out in my newest woodcut, Light’s Last II. Inspired by an image I took shortly after the boat turned sharply, I love how the waves in this print imply the boat without actually depicting it! #printmaking #fineart #woodcut #sunset #water

Light’s Last III is coming together nicely after printing the second layer…. The colors are so rich! Check back to watch this reduction woodcut develop further. For more info or to pre-order, visit: emilygraykoehler.com/products/lig... #fineart #woodcut #printmaking #sunset

Layer three is underway on Light’s Last I. Those sunset pastels are really punching each other up! I’m loving how this reduction woodcut series is turning out. Only one more layer (black) to print on this colorful beast. #printmaking #woodcut #fineart #sunset

Layer two on “Light’s Last II” is printed! These pastels are not normally my jam, but I know they will POP once the darker layers are printed over them. To learn more or to pre-order, visit: emilygraykoehler.com/products/lig... #fineart #woodcut #printmaking

The late autumn light is putting on a show in my studio as I print the second layer on “Light’s Last I” today. I love how much dramatic reduction woodcuts like this one change with each layer! #printmaking #fineart #woodcut

Spent my studio time today carving the next layer of the three new prints I’m working on (Light’s Last I, II, II). I plan to print next week. Check back to watch these reduction woodcuts develop! Learn more or pre-order here: emilygraykoehler.com/collections/... #fineart #woodcut #printmaking

I’ve finally printed the first blended-roll layers on my three new woodcuts: Light’s Last I, II and III. Check out these lovely colorfields on my website and what they will (hopefully 😉) turn into! Pre-orders availavle now! #printmaking #woodcut #fineart emilygraykoehler.com/collections/...

I’ve finished drawing my new ideas to the woodblocks. I’ll be working on these three reduction woodcut prints in tandem as the colors are so closely related. I’m hoping to start printing these lush rainbow rolls (blended rolls) soon! #printmaking #fineart
