Cumbrian Landscapes – Stuart Wilkie

Linocut and Wood engraving relief prints inspired by the Cumbrian Landscape

As a printmaker using linocut and wood engraving, I create relief prints here at the Mill in my studio on level 2. From my sketches of the landscape of Cumbria I am inspired by the light, weather, water, and seasons that influence the visual beauty and atmosphere of this special place.

Lino prints enable printing on a larger scale. Wood engraving is more delicate, and this finer medium is particularly suited to smaller work creating the equivalent of visual poems.
