Helen Ogilvie began linocut printing after purchasing a book by the esteemed Claude Flight, illustrating prints that were 'daringly modern' by Australian standards at the time. Ogilvie's first linocut prints were often hand coloured and depicting subject matter familiar to her, including farm animals, Australian flora and fauna.
