INCIARDI PRINTS

Ana is a relief printmaker based out of Portland, Maine. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and went on to study Art and Art History at Kenyon College. During college Ana discovered her love of carving linocuts... She began with mostly images of objects and buildings but then, increasingly more often, she was inspired by food. Growing up Italian American, food has always been central to her family; entire weeks were planned around meals and every outing or activity involved some sort of culinary reward... In her free time she loves roller blading, eating tomatoes, talking to her grandmother on the phone, petting her cat, Coupon, and singing with her sister. Process Ana carves all of her prints out of linoleum using sharp U or V shaped tools. Once the negative spaces of the image are carved out, she inks up the block
