A lovely couple took home the companion to this piece last night, which was great because I love these collages! I’m glad that someone else does too. This is Mountains Dream of the Unfolding Future, and is still available at The Alley! www.alleygallerysteamboat.com #collage #linocut #printmaking

Modern wildfires burn hot, scorching soil and making it hard for the forest to regrow on its own. Luckily, there's a lot humans can do to help. Check out this story by @jillbergman.bsky.social to learn more about these fires and how we can care for the forests in after they burn.

A few photos from Steamroll Steamboat yesterday! I’m in the red shirt inking my block. I didn’t get a good print, but I’ll be printing with a press on Friday and will share photos then. Super fun day and I’m excited it worked! #printmaking #linocut #woodcut #steamrollerprinting #reliefprint

These are the first documented wolves in about 100 years that naturally dispersed into Colorado and had pups in 2021. You can read the origin story of the North Park pack in this article I wrote a few years ago. www.jillbergman.com/this-wild-li... #wolves #linocut #printmaking #painting #colorado
