Linda FarquharsonLinda Farquharson (b. 1963) is the queen of linocut! She graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee in 1985 with a degree in Illustration and Printmaking. She now works from her studio in rural Perthshire where she prints from her superb, restored Columbian press. Linda is also supremely adept at the art of wood engraving - working on tiny images from the end grain of wood.
Her's is a distinctive graphic style of pared down compositions and delight in pattern making, contrasting the monochrome qualities of relief printmaking with the evocative possibilities of colour. Gentle humour and a profound love of nature permeates much of her work. |
