Hi Water Press

Hi Water Press is the imprint under which Bloof offers original artwork by Shanna Compton. The Hi Water Press Shop at Bloof Books offers selected prints, collages, and cards. Selected framed work is now available for local pickup or delivery. To see more of Shanna’s artwork, visit her artist portfolio, or stop by the gallery at Makers’ Market Shop & Studio in Sargentville, Maine, which offers some of her linocuts and other pieces.

Need a Mother’s Day gift? I’ve relisted the popular Wild Rose hand-printed cards from previous years in fresh colors and my best-selling Loon & Chick as a print or hand-printed card. (Both of these cards work perfectly in a 5 x 7 frame or mat.) 💌
