Colourful printmaking with added embellishments, all hand printed by me.
Hello, I’m Emma a printmaker based in Kingsbridge, South Devon.
I was introduced to printmaking when I moved to Devon in 1999. I had just finished my degree in Theatre Design and was keen to find a creative outlet. I heard about a printmaking workshop at Salcombe Art Club and went along – I loved it!
I tried various types of printmaking and found that I enjoyed creating collagraphs the most.
Looking to expand my love of texture, I started embellishing into my printmaking about ten years ago, using beads, metal and threads.
The South Hams is a constant source of inspiration with it’s beautiful landscape and coastline. Circular shapes feature in lots of my work, along with a colour palette of turquoise, blues and greens. I always look for new theme ideas and will produce small series of pieces.
If you have a passion for what you do, then go for it!
