Jamie Barnes

Jamie is a Freelance Curator and Printmaker in Cumbria. His artwork is principally concerned with manmade structures: houses, buildings, townscapes and structures in the landscape. For Jamie all printmaking comes from drawing, which he loves to do. He enjoys taking his love of line drawing and transforming it through the magic of the aquatint etching process. He values etching for the quality of line it can produce, its depth of texture and for the random marks picked up by the process which he often chooses to preserve.

Jamie has recently extended his use of etching to create unique ‘Etching Plate Pendants’.
