Bio

I live in a beautiful part of rural Victoria, Australia on a couple of acres with my partner and teenage children. I largely spend my time designing & creating interesting & beautiful things (& trying to be one myself; it's a work in progress).

I make unique small scale paper sculptures and original, hand pulled, limited edition prints, using linocut and etching techniques. As part of my ongoing efforts to be as kind to the environment as possible I use high quality water based inks and non chemical intaglio and relief methods to create my work. My sculptures are constructed with paper from decrepit books, newspapers & maps, joined with non toxic glue & any bases are made of wood from old furniture.

Thank you for visiting my site, it will be updated often as I continue to explore the fascinating possibilities of individual art printmaking.

I strongly believe that access to high quality art should not be reserved for the privileged few and this philosophy is reflected in my pricing.

I am a proud member of NAVA Australia (National Association of Visual Artists) & the Etsy DUST(Down Under Street Team), Queer Team & Printsy (Printmaker's) Team.

When I'm not making beautiful things I'm collecting them, so take a look at my other store http://theuppitywoman.etsy.com where I'm letting go of some of my collection of vintage & antique lovelies.

All my decorative, wearable & useful art items are gradually being moved from this store to my new store http://ScathinglyBrillaiant.etsy.com
