Linocut Prints Created From Life's Most Memorable Moments
Linocut Art
Made in
NEWCASTLE
UPON TYNE
Inspiration strikes in all kinds of places but it’s always an emotional response to something - a colour, a day spent with special people, a once in a lifetime event or journey.
The colours that I use are the evidence of that emotional response. They set the mood and communicate how I felt when inspiration hit me.
Linocut is a printmaking process where a Lino block (similar to the flooring but made especially for artists to use) is carved and then inked up before lying paper on top and pressing down. Whatever is left in relief impresses an inked image on the paper. I usually create in layers where new colours are printed on top of each other. This creates more exciting textures and colour combinations.
Inspired by nature, memories & wonders of the world. Creating passionate, vivid artworks for nature lovers that lift your mood & give you space to reminisce & dream.

‘We were looking for a piece of art with a nautical theme when we came across Heather’s work.
We were drawn in by her use of bold colours and the unique patterns created by her carving.
Heather is friendly, honest and approachable which all created a great service. Buying from her felt easy and the whole process was transparent.
We’re so happy to have this piece in the hallway - our original ‘Happy Place’ print makes it welcoming.
Hi
I’m Heather and I am passionate about creating vivid artworks that lift your mood and give you space to dream about your time in nature.
Growing up in Cheshire, we spent many happy days in National Trust parks and holidays in the Lake District or along the coast of Wales. All of these experiences have shaped the artist that I am and I still draw on happy memories to create inspiring art pieces.
Having moved to Newcastle, I feel spoiled by the stunning wildlife, scenery and coastline of the North East of England, I am never far from my source of inspiration.
