High Fells - carborundum grit and drypoint print has been selected for the RBSA Print Prize exhibition

Royal Society of Artists' Print Prize exhibition

I have been selected to exhibit a carborundum/drypoint print ‘High Fells’ in the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists’ Print Prize exhibition at the RBSA’s gallery in Brook Street, Birmingham. The exhibition runs from Tuesday 18 January – Saturday 26 February

The image was created from a drawing that I made when painting and drawing in the Lake District last June. I have glued carborundum grit onto a printing plate and also used a sharp drypoint needle to make grooves. Ink was rubbed into the plate which was printed on my etching press.

March/April/May 2022 Featured Artist at Ironbridge Fine Arts, Shropshire

I am currently creating work in pastel and print to exhibit at Ironbridge Fine Arts Gallery in Shropshire next year.

I am demonstrating inking and printing using a 'Little Thumper' press at Wolverhampton Art Gallery - Saturday 13 November, 10.30-2.30

 I am demonstrating inking and printing using a 'Little Thumper' etching press, thanks to Ironbridge Fine Arts who are loaning it to me.  My own trusty Gunning press is rather big to move and transport but the Little Thumper is beautifully compact.

I will be upstairs in Wolverhampton Art Gallery from 10.30-2.30 if you would like to come and have a look.

Some people ask me why do I print?  In some ways it is more complicated because when you print from a printing plate onto paper the image is reversed.  You have to make your image on a plate (a piece of sheet metal, lino, perspex or wood), then apply ink to your plate, put it on the bed of the press, place paper on top of it and then crank it through the press.

Isn't painting more straightforward?

I will attempt to explain my love of printmaking on Saturday.

The Dead Mask Project - now showing at Atlantic Studios Gallery, Boston, Massachusetts (July 15-August 21 2021)

 

CUrrent EXHIBITION - The Dead Mask project

Shot between January and July of 2021, the images show pathos and humor, elegance and disarray – life as we know it in a pandemic. The mask motif brings us together in these strange isolating times. ‘

'The Dead Mask Project' is now showing at Atlantic Studios Gallery, Boston, Massachusetts (July 15-August 21, 2021)

The exhibition is a collection of photos from over 60 artists from 15 countries. The photographs must be of discarded face masks as found objects, 'as is' in their environment.

I was delighted to be invited to take part in this project and submitted photographs taken in Staithes (Yorkshire), Shrewsbury (Shropshire) and Wolverhampton (West Midlands).

Linda Nevill would love to be in any of these landscapes again whether in sunshine or snow, on a clifftop overlooking the sea or high in the hills.  These are her responses to a range of landscapes evoking memories of, amongst other things, the softness of heather, the searing heat on the coastal path, the tingling of ice and the crunching of footsteps in snow.

Working in all weathers to make plein air sketches and studies she works with these and photographs to create finished pieces.

For this exhibition she has worked with vibrant soft pastels
