"Havana Harbor" by Geo Sipp
Woodblock Print, 26 x 32

Created as part of a classroom project on Cuban Orisha gods, Havana Harbor reflects both mentorship and artistry. Working alongside his illustration students, Sipp crafted his own interpretation of the theme-capturing the spiritual resonance and rhythmic energy of Havana through the bold contrasts and tactile textures of traditional woodcut printmaking.

The piece stands as a testament to Sipp's dual role as educator and artist, blending cultural exploration with masterful technique.
