Hello! Thank you for stopping by my shop, I’m Helen — solo owner and artist behind kintsugi print studio.
Born and raised in New York City, I grew a passion for block printing and have been printmaking since 2019.
My work is deeply influenced by the Japanese philosophy of 'kintsugi,' embracing imperfections and finding beauty in the broken.
All prints are handmade at home in my NYC art studio — featuring designs carefully carved out of rubber or linoleum blocks. I hope you love the prints as much as I love making them! ❤︎
I love to share the joy of printmaking! Here are some blog posts I wrote on the topic, and slice-of-life pieces on being an artist in NYC.
Follow me on Instagram for more behind-the-scenes of my art process ❤︎
