Shirley Watson

Shirley creates original hand cut lino prints, printed on a hand press using environmentally friendly inks, making each print individual and unique.

She loves to use colour and shapes found in nature. Her recent works have been created from walks in her local area and visits to the coast, where she has explored and discovered inspiration in the landscape.

Shirley mainly creates reduction prints, a process of creating a multiple colour linocut print from a single block. Lino is removed from the block for each layer and each colour is printed on top of the last. This creates a limited edition of prints, as the block cannot be reused.
