Jamie Barnes
Jamie is a Cumbrian printmaker specialising in etching. His artwork is principally concerned with man-made structures: houses, buildings, and structures in the landscape and on the coast. 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.
