Joanna Bourne
Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, living close to the Town Moor, parks and allotments which provide much of the inspiration for her prints. She is interested in the places where urban life and the natural world meet, glimpsed moments in time and the changing times of the year. Woodgrain forms an important part of the composition of her prints which are developed by incorporating overprinting in transparent colours, jig-sawing blocks and reduction printing.
Jo is a member of Northern Print where she teaches Woodcut. She has been selected several times for Printfest, where she was voted Printmakers’ Printmaker in 2014.
