‘Nurture’ : an original lino print especially for Mother’s Day by Printmaker Hannah Turlington.
Hannah Turlington launches her original lino print especially for Mother’s day. Living and working in North Yorkshire, Hannah is a printmaker who is driven to create by her love of colour, nature and life’s stories. ‘Nurture’ is the fourth in her 2021 series of word lino prints, inspired by human nature.
According to Hallmark, Mother’s Day is the third biggest sending card event. 113 million cards are typically exchanged every year, with over 80% of adult males and females honouring Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day is a day that summons up feelings of joy and gratitude for many people, however there are feelings of sadness and perhaps a reminder of the loss of never becoming a mother. Nurture is a strong word and it symbolises an act of love. Nurture is something that we all need, to enable us to become the best person that we can be.
You do not have to be a mother to nurture, you can be a friend, a relative, a work colleague, or a teacher…the list is endless.
Most importantly we need to nurture ourselves…
‘Nurture’ is the fourth in the words lino print collection for 2021, joining ‘Love’, ‘Hope’ and ‘Be Kind’. Every piece of work inspired by human nature and nature.
Hannah invites you to embrace the fragility of human nature and start collecting her Words lino prints. They are perfect for those mothers, fathers, those that make us feel safe, those that have nurtured us … or as a reminder to nurture yourself.
