Sue Brown
Please note that it is difficult to present artist's work on a Web site in such a way as to truly show the depth of colour and textures. In the case of Sue's work this is doubly so. In reality they have a "life" of their own which is not fully brought out here. 
All work shown here is framed and the sizes refer to the image area. The mounting and framing add approximately 20 cms.

It was on a visit to the Rudolf Steiner School, Gloucester that Sue discovered collagraph printing.  She had been etching for years, trying to get deeply bitten textural prints and here was a technique providing the effect she was searching for without using acid.  After a break from printing Sue invested in her own press and organised a workshop space at home, enabling her to combine etching and collagraph techniques.

The images she uses are figurative, exploring surface texture and colour and collage, producing rich tactile pieces as large as her press will allow (50 x 65cm).  Due to the method of hand finishing, each print of an edition may vary slightly making each picture similar yet unique.
