I am an artist/printmaker based in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, with a background in Graphic Design and commercial print. I began printmaking in 2019, albeit with no formal training, preferring to learn in my own time and space with trial and error and experimentation. My studio at the end of the garden is quite small, so I generally use printmaking techniques that require little or no chemicals, so mainly multiblock and reduction linocuts and recently have ventured into collagraphs and drypoint etching. A visit to the Amy Johnson room at Sewerby Hall and Gardens during a childhood holiday to Bridlington has always stayed with me and I feel it is important that future generations should be aware of her great achievements, breaking the constraints women faced of the social boundaries of the era. Using a sepia toned photo taken in 1933 as reference, I was inspired to create this collagraph portrait of the pioneering aviator, using mount board, scalpel, PVA glue and a pasta press!
