Tracey Underhill – Oxfordshire Artweeks

44 Tracey Underhill

Region: Didcot- South & Vale

Artform: Printmaking

My work is a celebration of bold and beautiful colours coupled with strong and suggestive shapes which form my signature graphic Lino prints style. I’m inspired by childhood memories, a love of the natural world and simply from finding the beauty and the joy in every day life.
My limited edition lino prints range from true representations to abstractions, from mini prints to much larger ones and black & white to full on colour. Each lino print can take numerous weeks to complete depending on the amount of layers and the complexity of the piece, so I always have multiple prints on the go. While ink is drying I can be cutting or printing another, but there is something special about when that final layer of a print goes on and everything just comes together. This year also sees me venturing into book illustration through lino print. I will be working in the studio throughout art weeks, so there is always something to see going on.
