2010 - New and ongoing work and news
 

August 24th - Up, up and away ...

Two prints will be setting off on a long journey to their new home tomorrow. The excitement of selling my work to 'strangers' never diminishes and Canada is another first time destination.

August 12th - It's all go this month

My 'to do' list for August is ever growing but it's all looking very positive in my lino world. Sales of prints and cards are buoyant. I have at long last found time to work on the design for my new website and have been out taking photographs for background images today. I've decided the time is right to publish 3 new greetings cards (which will be for sale online mid September) and preparation is starting for the Open Studios weekends at the end of September.

July 19th - "Sheepish"

This little single colour linocut more or less popped out of nowhere last night (drawing) and today (cutting and printing). It had a working title of "Sheepish" but a friend has just commented that it has a bit of a Mona Lisa smile ...

July 15th - Rediscovering John Piper
It's been a very long time since I really looked properly at John Piper's work but today, in need of a final push of inspiration for a collage I'm working on, I spent some time here and I'm utterly smitten.

July 14th - A very pleasant surprise


... awaited me on the BBC website this morning. The Things to Do section for North Wales has picked up on the current exhibition at the RCA and chosen one of my drawings to accompany the article.

June 19th - 'Specially for frog lovers Whilst sorting through some folders earlier today, I came across 'Creepy Crawly Frog'. It's an etching, not a linocut, but I thought I would add him to the frog gallery for those like myself who have a 'bit of a thing' about frogs.

June 14th - New work Two brand spanking new prints "Rhwng y creigiau gwyrdd" (Amongst the green rocks) and "Y Graig" (The rock) were amongst the works delivered today to Oriel Tegfryn for their member's summer exhibition. The show will open on July 10th and runs until the end of August.

Artist/Printmaker Ann Lewis' work proves that although considered by many as one of the simplest forms of printmaking, linocutting should never be underestimated as a challenging, creative and exciting medium capable of producing a broad range of evocative images.

All print editions are printed on Zerkall White, smooth, 145gsm or Fabriano Artistico, White, smooth, 300gsm

Greeting Cards available to buy online - click here


As a result of positive feedback and demand, I have publishished two of my most popular linocuts as 6" x 4" blank greetings cards. The cards have been professionally printed by Abacus, who are based in Ulverston, Cumbria.
