Next print in progress …

When not having visions or composing music, Hildegard was working in the infirmary, working in the garden, writing medical textbooks and natural history textbooks, corresponding with all the kings and queens of Europe or inventing her own language and alphabet. She’s credited with introducing natural history to German speaking lands so she’s next in my #womenInSTEM series.

Several of my linocut prints drying on a table. Each one shows Hildegard von Bingen, scroll and quill in hand, dressed in her nun’s habit, printed in blue, with her map of the cosmos, surrounded by green and yellow plants and sulfur. Her invented alphabet runs across the top and bottom.
