A collagraph is an original print made from a plate built up with textured materials. When inked and pressed onto paper, the plate creates richly varied marks and surface effects. Here, apparent hand-applied color adds further depth and individuality.

A vivid pink heart with golden wings floats against a turquoise ground, surrounded by an orange patterned border. Textured passages lend depth to the composition, with apparent hand-applied pastel or pigment adding richness to the printed surface.

Presented under glass with a dark mat and silver-tone frame. The artwork measures approximately 7 × 7 inches; overall framed dimensions are 12.5 × 12.5 inches.
