"Lady Bug Beetle" by M. G. Martin, Amer., (1931-2013)

Linocut, 1980's, 8 x 6, Ed. unknown, unsigned, handling creases to outer margins, on cream wove japan paper. Martin's mature work was inspired in large part by the infinite varieties of form found in nature. She was particularly fascinated with the bilateral symmetry she observed in insects and other ancient forms of life. In addition to "Lady Bug Beetle" there are several other small beetle block prints she completed.
