Modern Art Prints For Your Home

Hello, my name is Joanne. I have always enjoyed being creative. It is so much fun! At the moment I am rediscovering my love of printing particularly the art of collagraphy. This involves putting together interesting bits and pieces onto a piece of cardboard and then creating a print from it. It really is exciting because you never know how the print will turn out and each one is different from the last.
It also appeals to my frugal magpie nature which likes to make use of items that would normally be thrown away or recycled like pieces of cardboard for example that I create stencils from.
The art of transformation - turning something mundane into something magical, that hold's great appeal to me.
Living in the Lake District - surely one of the most beautiful places in the world - has greatly increased my creativity and productivity also, it is impossible not be inspired by the stunning natural beauty all around me.
I recently came across some pieces of wood which I am drying out and will be using for future prints. You can literally create prints from anything as long as it is relatively flat! Endless possibilities!!
I work from home on a rather crowded table - printing takes up a lot of room but I like having everything at hand and the views from my living room are spectacular.
If there is anything else you would like to know about my work please feel free to ask. I would love to hear from you.
