About me

Hello - I'm Melanie and I make limited edition lino prints of dancing hares, otters, naughty dogs, swarms of bees and favourite plants from my studio in Bristol.

I enjoy the challenge of translating a drawing into lino and also the physical process of carving and hand burnishing.  Every lino print is hand burnished individually from the hand carved lino block so each one is unique.  They are all numbered, titled and signed on the front.

I am constantly challenging myself with the medium, in terms of both intricate lino blocks to cut and also the size and scale of lino blocks to hand burnish.

I create artworks that share a little blast of joy and humour and tell stories and ask questions - usually "what is going on?"

I sell my lino prints online and in galleries and have sent them off to new homes around the world.

Sometimes I teach a workshop, take on a commission or licence images so get in touch if any of these things are what you need.
