Hi, I'm Tineke 👋 Over the past year, linocut printing has sparked my creativity: a creative outlet away from screens. It all started with a medieval rabbit wielding an axe 🐇🪓 About the name Studio Vro: vro is an old Dutch word for cheerful/happy (vrolijk). Here I'll share my prints, my process and my search for a style of my own. #introduction #linocut #linoprint #printmaking #beginnerartist

Day 23 #SciArtSeptember prompt is copper so I am sharing my #linocut of the first woman to earn a doctorate in science, physicist and professor Laura Maria Caterina Bassi Veratti (née, & known throughout her life as Bassi, 1711-1778). I’ve shown her surrounded by the sort of state-of-the-art instrumentation she would have used in her lab to investigate electricity: an electrical machine, conductors, an aurora flask, a 🧵 https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/4436745646 #printmaking #womenInSTEM #histsci #physics

Happy birthday to #mathematician, aeronautical #engineer, philanthropist and Cherokee ‘hidden figure’ of the space race: Mary Golda Ross (1908-2008).⁠ ⁠ Great-great-granddaughter of Chief John Ross, who was forced to lead his people on the Trail of Tears, Ross attributed her success in math to the Cherokee tradition of encouraging equal education for boys and girls. 🧵1/ https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/634592877 #printmaking #sciart #womenInSTEM #Indigineer #SpaceRace #planetaryScience #linocut #mastoArt

Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize. 🧵1/ https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/1086564033 #printmaking #womenInSTEM #histSTM #computing #mathematician #sciart #compsci

I designed the typefaces to suggest the meaning of the words. “Parliament” is in a gothic script. “Owls” has an owl eye for ‘o’ and the remaining letters are feathered. The owls are, right to left and top to bottom: the Eastern screech, Northern saw-whet, long-eared, Barred, Great Horned and the American Barn owls. https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/4337673774 🧵2/2 #linocut #printmaking #sciart #owls #typography #termsOfVenery #screechOwl #GreatHornedOwl #BarnOwl #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay

Happy birthday to #geologist & oceanographic #cartographer Marie Tharp (1920-2006), whose pioneering, thorough & complete ocean floor maps with Bruce Heezen, made using realms of echo sounder data, revealed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.⁠ ⁠ After studying #geology & math, Maurice ‘Doc’ Ewing at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia hired her to draft 1000s of echo sounder profiles. 🧵1/5 https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/217247292 #sciart #printmaking #womenInSTEM #histsci #linocut

Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.⁠ ⁠ Watson’s bio lead some to (inaccurately) joke, “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.” While it’s important 🧵1/ #linocut #printmaking #WomenInSTEM #histsci #mastoArt #sciart⁠
