About the maker:

Recently selected to exhibit at Craft Cheltenham 2023 and a member of MAKE Southwest (formerly the Devon Guild of Craftsmen), Niamh’s work responds to the love of her surroundings, nature, intricate details noticed and moments captured. A contemplation on ecology and our relationship with our environment.

She makes small editions of handmade prints, cards and books. She combines drypoint and woodcut techniques with monoprinting to create a painterly quality to her prints, so each in the edition will vary slightly and be unique. She starts with the slow process of carving the wood, creating small intentional marks that will begin as a suggestion of the image and then combines these marks with the less predictable fluidity of monotype, layering colours to create a richness and depth to the printed image.

Her work as a printmaker is informed and influenced by her training and experience as a silversmith, often using the same tools to transfer the fine skills of etching and engraving precious metals to the printing block to create an image on paper.

What we love is the way her reduction print technique leaves a textural quality to her work. the additonal use of oil based inks gives an etheral sheen to each piece, giving a real sense of the Devon landscape; coast, moor and riverside.
