Nature and Wildlife inspire Alix's linocut prints and drawings
I have been making art for as long as I can remember experimenting with lino-cutting and printing since November 2015 after I attended a course at Birmingham Printmakers and was enthralled by the process.
I use a linseed oil based ink to print which can be cleaned up without the need for solvents as I try and be as environmentally friendly as possible with the processes I use and teach.
I enjoy creating both monoprint and reduction linocuts (multi layered and multi coloured prints also known as a ‘suicide print’ as there is no going back once you have started the next layer!). I’ve recently been experimenting with more layered prints using translucent inks.
