Cutleaf Toothwort

This linocut print features a delicate forest flower I discovered and photographed in Louisiana. Known for its brief flowering cycle—just over a month—it’s a hidden gem that can be hard to spot due to its small stature.

Historically, both Native Americans and early European settlers valued this plant for its peppery roots, which were used as a seasoning, a snack, or for medicinal purposes. Also called crow’s toes, pepper root, and purple-flowered toothwort, this unique wildflower is a celebration of nature’s fleeting beauty.

I recommend framing your print with a sheet of acid-free white paper behind it to enhance the appearance of the print. The transparency of the paper benefits from light filtering through, adding a dynamic quality to the artwork.

Every print is carefully packaged with a sturdy backer to ensure it arrives safely and in perfect condition.
