Mermaid in the Waves Block Print | 11" x 14"

Mermaid in the Waves” — 11 × 14 Block Print
A beautifully detailed hand-carved block print featuring a graceful mermaid surrounded by the movement and mystery of the sea. The mermaid sits peacefully within a swirling ocean, her flowing hair and beautifully patterned tail becoming part of the rhythmic waves around her.
The composition is filled with intricate carved lines and flowing organic shapes, creating a wonderful sense of movement throughout the water. A small moon or celestial form appears overhead, adding a touch of magic and giving the scene a dreamlike, storybook quality.
The contrast of deep navy blue and natural paper tones, with subtle turquoise variations, highlights the texture and craftsmanship of the relief-printing process. The detailed markings on the mermaid’s tail and hair add visual interest, while the curling waves create a sense of depth and continuous motion.
This piece captures the timeless allure of the sea and the imagination of the mermaid—a beautiful combination of fantasy, nature, femininity, and ocean-inspired design.
