About Joanna Padfield

I love the natural world and my work celebrates nature and the natural environment, using bright vibrant colours and bold eye catching shapes and patterns. After studying at art school, I went on to study and work in architecture. As my path in design continued, I have developed my love of colour and graphics in print making to create linocut prints. I like the process of cutting fresh lino with sharp tools and the anticipation of peeling paper off an inked block. Every print is hand-pulled, and therefore proudly shows the various marks left from the rough surface of the lino block, which furthermore gives each piece of artwork that unique handmade quality that only linocut prints have.
