About Me and Block21Prints

Hello there!

My name is Sarah May and I am the artist behind Block21Prints.  I am a linocut artist and illustrator who loves colors, sweet animals, kind sentiments and playful graphics!   I am a wife and a mom to two creative and funny kids and have been a public school art teacher for over 26 years.  I have been building my business, Block21Prints, in the margins of time, little by little.  As I was earning my masters degree in art education in 2000, I rediscovered my love of printmaking, specifically linocuts.  I have been carving and printing ever since.  Through my prints and illustrations I aim to cultivate creativity, promote kindness and embrace mindfulness.  The whimsical and playful nature of my work paired with my genuine desire to spread an authentic message of compassion and spirit defines my art’s joyful characteristics.
