Hester Cox
Hester has a BA(hons) Illustration and lives in the Yorkshire Dales. As a fellrunner, her excursions take her to remote locations in all weathers. The physicality of running creates an enduring connection with the landscape that she draws upon when back in her studio. By using multiple plates, painted textures and intricate cutting in her collagraphs she aims to celebrate the patterns and colours found in nature, drawing attention to everyday occurrences that often go unnoticed or are soon forgotten.
In 2017 she created a large-scale print installation for Grassington Festival and was selected for the New Light Prize Exhibition.
