Koʻoloaʻula, Monotype Print, Panel by Andrea Pro.
This shrub, with itʻs beautiful flowers ranging from white to marron, is native to the Hawaiʻi dry forest ecosystem. It is an endemic plant, found only in Hawaiʻi and was traditionally used in village landscaping.
This is an original monotype combining printmaking techniques, including printing a background color from an inked plexiglas plate layered with a collagraph plate to add rich texture, embellished with pearlescent or metallic powdered pigments and a final printing with a wood block. A collagraph is created by adding a variety of paper, objects and gloss medium to a board, followed by inking and printing this relief surface onto paper.
Caring for your Panel:
Dust surface regularly with a soft cloth. Use care around edges where paper is adhered to the wood. The surface has been varnished with a UV protected varnish, however do not display in direct light.
