Meet the artist & maker

Michelle’s creative process starts with photographs taken while walking and cycling. She then transforms landscapes and wildlife into simplified graphic shapes applying a limited colour palette. She creates limited-edition prints using the multi-block linocut method, hand-carving lino blocks for each colour and printing with oil-based inks. Michelle also offers small group workshops in her print studio and teaches linocut courses online. Her first book, ‘Printing Birds and Wildlife in Linocut’, will be for sale.
