Carved by the Ocean
I hand-carve and print each of my bold black and white lino prints in my creative studio in Torquay on Victoria’s Surf Coast. Printmaking has always been a meditative process for me; slowing down, carving each line by hand, and watching an image gradually come to life through ink and paper.
My surf art collection was born after moving to the Surf Coast and falling completely in love with surfing and the coastal lifestyle. Living just moments from the ocean means I'm constantly surrounded by inspiration, from glassy waves and changing tides to the simple feeling of being immersed in nature. Every print is a reflection of that connection and a way of bringing a little of the coast into your home.
Let customers speak for us
What a wonderful workshop on lino printing! Emily is a delightful, warm and helpful teacher who shared not only the basic techniques of lino printing with us but also her love of the medium. I walked away with a great memory of the workshop experience, a finished lino print of my very own, and the inspiration to do more lino printing! Thanks Emily
We had the loveliest time at Emily's lino workshop. We all chose different designs, worked at different rates, with varying ability and Emily was able to guide us all through the process! Quite a feat!
Beautiful space to create in. We were rapt with our finished prints. Id never tried lino before and loved it!
Absolutely LOVED the Lino workshop! Emily was an amazing and warm facilitator, the space was lovely, and it was really rewarding learning a new skill and having prints to take home. Thanks Emily!
Our lino cutting class was such a fun experience. We went with the family (including young kids) and Em was able to provide a suitable option for everyone. The instructions were clear and made it easy to follow and we all left extremely happy with our prints! 10/10 would recommend if you want to pick up a fun new artistic hobby
The lino and printmaking course was absolutely fantastic. We had a large group booking as part of a family weekend away and Emily was warm, helpful and made the whole experience really fun. We all came away feeling super proud of what we created. Highly recommend!
In 3 hrs, I created a lovely artwork and I didn’t need to bring a thing, as everything was supplied (including tea & biccies). Thanks Emily for the warm welcome and fabulous support. ..Mary

It was a fabulous morning with Emily from Ahki Illustration! She took us through the whole process of printing, from coming up with a design, to the final printed product. Printmaking is a really fun art form and with Emily’s gentle guidance, we all walked away feeling really proud of what we’d created! Highly recommend!

Gorgeous picture of a Koala wearing a Christmas hat, sitting in the fork of a eucalyptus tree. I've chosen this card to send to my Koala loving friend in Rhode Island, USA. Good sized and great quality.
