Fine Art Printer-Painter
Working as a Fine Art printmaker, I have been developing a body of small scale linoprints. The basis of my work is minimalising the environment to represent the small important detail often missed.

"I made these paintings from sketches and photographs taken whilst walking the dog. As walking and painting are non-verbal processes, I find the physical excercise of walking and the mental process of creativity are stimulated by the silence and the landscape. Back in my studio, the painting gradually emerges from the photos and the sketches; my imagination merges with the reality of the original scene and the work takes on a a life of its own."

Julia Midgley

http://juliamidgleydrawings.blogspot.com/
As a figurative artist I work predominantly on paper deriving subject matter from direct observation.
My work features in public, private, and corporate collections in the UK and abroad.
Drawing is the bedrock of my professional activity. The work reflects personal interests and events. It seeks to entertain, and intrigue, through its idiosyncrasy. Drawing informs my printmaking too, mainly etching with aquatint.
As a documentary artist I record activities as they take place and become a fly on the wall.
Reportage commissions/projects take the form of Residencies.

Moira Rae Carter
I have always found drawing the human form both fascinating and challenging, and I love the medium of print because of its ability to produce multiple images.
These original prints are not reproductions of drawings or paintings... each hand made plate being inked by hand and printed separately giving variation from print to print.... making each one an original.
