Mike’s printmaking ideas stem from many years as a graphic desiner and illustrator. His themes are based in nature and landscape with strong influenses fro the Arts& Crafts movement. Bold shapes and colours mix with a combination of realistic forms and stylised interpretations.
My work focuses on geometric abstraction, drawing deep inspiration from the rolling hills and woodlands of Shropshire, as well as the ever-changing light and rhythms of the West Wales coastline.
Through bold forms, layered textures, and carefully balanced compositions, I aim to capture an emotional response to place—distilling landscapes and seascapes into their essential shapes and tones.
Bridgnorth-based printmaker Julia Timmins creates richly detailed prints that invite close looking and quiet discovery. Working primarily in wood engraving—a precise and expressive form of relief printmaking—she also produces linocuts and drypoint prints, each marked by a deep sensitivity to texture and line.
Julia’s work seeks to capture a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world, revealing beauty through intricate detail and carefully observed surfaces. Her practice is continually inspired by her garden and the surrounding Shropshire countryside, where ancient woodland, vibrant meadows, abundant wildlife, and a wealth of historic sites provide endless source material.
Julia is an elected member and Chair of the Society of Wood Engravers and exhibits regularly throughout the UK and internationally. Her work is held in public and private collections in the UK and abroad.
Painting, printing, collage and felting in a wide variety of style
I am a printmaker with an unusual worldview which informs the imagery in my artworks. I care about the environment too, so nature is everpresent. Work available will be a mix of wood engravings, drypoint etchings and collagraphs
As a dedicated mixed‑media artist and printmaker, she works across collagraph, etching, drypoint, linocut and monoprinting, alongside watercolour and acrylic. Her practice is rooted in fostering a vibrant arts movement in the Midlands, using creativity as a catalyst for connection. She is committed to engaging people of all backgrounds in hands‑on artistic experiences, encouraging exploration, confidence and community through accessible making.
Susan’s artistic practice works across glass, ceramics, printmaking, and painting, with screen printing serving as a central method for extending ideas across diverse materials. Drawing inspiration from local history, memory, and the relationship between people and place, their layered processes explore how past and present intertwine. Recent projects include site specific pieces using screen printing with glass enamel, printing onto porcelain, and hand‑painted stained glass, reflecting an ongoing interest in how art can illuminate humanity’s fractured connection with nature while inviting reflection on the world around us.
I’m an artist working with painting, print and textiles from my studio in Shropshire, UK. I love to layer and combine techniques, often mixing drawing and painting with densely worked stitch. I spend a lot of time working in sketchbooks, drawing and gathering information for my work. My work is inspired by the immediate world around me, the people and places I’m familiar with.
I create illustrative artwork, limited edition linoprints and mixed media work – inspired by nature and landscape. My range of cards, handmade lanterns, giftware and stationery is currently stocked in galleries across Shropshire.
