Stick House Beach - Original Linocut

Bright, cheerful, and instantly recognizable, Stick House Beach is one of Laurie McIntosh's most beloved original linocut reduction prints. Inspired by the colorful beach cottages that dot the South Carolina coast, the piece captures the playful spirit, quirky charm, and carefree joy of life by the water.

A lively row of stilted cottages stretches across the composition, each painted in Laurie's signature palette of vibrant coastal color. Tiny details reveal themselves the longer you look—birds soaring overhead, winding pathways between the homes, and subtle touches of whimsy that make every house feel like it has its own personality. The result is a piece that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, celebrating the character of the Lowcountry in a way that is unmistakably Laurie's own.

This is not a reproduction. Stick House Beach is an original hand-pulled linocut reduction print created using a traditional printmaking process often called "suicide printing." Beginning with a single linoleum block, the artist carves, inks, and prints one color at a time. After each color is printed, more of the block is permanently carved away before the next layer is added. Because the block is gradually destroyed throughout the process, the image can never be recreated once the edition is complete, making every print part of a truly original body of work.

Offered unframed and ready for custom framing, Stick House Beach is a wonderful choice for collectors who want to personalize the presentation or work with a frame that complements their home. Full of color, movement, and coastal personality, it brings the warmth and happiness of a summer day at the beach into any room.

This original linocut reduction print by Laurie McIntosh is a favorite among collectors of contemporary Lowcountry art and makes a distinctive addition to beach homes, coastal interiors, and art collections that celebrate the South Carolina coast.
