Floral-inspired artwork by Vicky Oldfield

Vicky-Oldfield

This week, I’m featuring floral-inspired artwork by printmaker and artist Vicky Oldfield.

Based in Surrey, Vicky creates her images using collagraphy which is a form of printmaking.

Her prints are taken from plates which have been collaged with a variety of materials including fabric, string, card, paper and sand.

The plates are sealed, inked up and then printed on to damp paper using an etching press.

Here are some more examples of her work…
