Gail Brodholt Printmaker of the Year 2018 Printmaker of the Year 2018 I’m really interested in those unconsidered and unnoticed places that people pass through.

Frans Wesselman My work reflects my interest in the human form and human relationships. Some pieces are based on poems and literature, some are directly from observation and imagination. Everything is underpinned by drawing from nature and figure studies. There is usually a narrative element, I aim to convey a feeling or [...]

My work features the local countryside and wildlife.  I love the unpredictability of the collagraph process and the soft colours and textures that result.  I have recently been working on a series of "Arctic" prints to highlight [...]

From these walks I collect, arrange and sketch groups of plants that become the starting [...]
