"Pizza", 8 color, Chin Colle & Linoleum Reduction print by Heather Piazza. 

In the artists words,"I grew up loving Pizza! It was always a special treat.  I love to eat cold pizza for breakfast the next morning.  I wanted to create a pizza print using a lot of colors.  I have been working with Chin Colle and I felt it was the best way to add toppings to my pizza."

The alternate photos here show first the carved lino and then the step by step addition of the elements.

About Heather:

A native of California's central valley, Heather joined in the 
Bay Area art scene in 2002 after receiving her Fine Arts 
Degree. She has been a custom picture framer for more then
15 years.

Heather has a passion for the non-traditional, for 
the variety and complexity of light, for color, texture and 
design. These passions come through whether she is expressing herself through acrylic and oil painting, glass lamp-working, printmaking, drawing or photography. With each new piece of art she creates, Heather lets creative intuition guide her work.  

Though Printmaking is Heather's newest adventure, she has come to love the process of turning an idea into a completed print.  Over the last few years, she has begun to carve linoleum which allows her to continue her exploaration of texture through various cutting techniques.  Printmaking has forced her to consider more graphic imagery.  Her prints have evolved from black and white to multiple colors and layers.
