Alexandra lives in Bicester and draws inspiration from countryside walks and the changes in weather and season upon the landscape. These scenic discoveries are transformed into colourful, impressionistic linocuts. Themes include sun streaming through woodlands and trees, twinkling water and reflections, carpets of flowers or fields with interesting skies and expansive rocky coastlines and nostalgic seaside scenes. More recently, adventures from a trip to Japan have sparked a collection of works. Most prints are worked in reduction whereby layers of colour are cut and printed from the same block, destroying it in the process and limiting the edition.
Alexandra has recently returned to painting in acrylics which has driven her to explore how to apply some more painterly effects to her printmaking and try some looser mark making.
Alexandra has been a full-time printmaker since 2012 when she moved to Bicester and created a simple printmaking studio at home to develop her skills to the highest standards. Her linocuts have been displayed at the Royal Academy, the Bankside Gallery and Mall Galleries in London. She is a best seller on the Artfinder online marketplace and has recently been selected as an Artfinder Artist Ambassador to help shape the future of the platform. Alexandra’s work sells to collectors across the UK and internationally.
Alexandra teaches several group lino printing workshops a year at the Phoenix Studio in Towersey and Stowe School.
