Caroline Pratt

As a Leeds based printmaker and illustrator I have in the past worked with screen print and various intaglio processes to create designs for different projects, but my current work uses hand carved lino blocks combined with cut and collaged vintage papers and the drawn line.

Influenced by my interest in 1960s illustration and 1950s domestic textile design, these prints explore visual narrative through images inspired by the English countryside - in particular birdlife - and by combining quirky characters with stylised motifs I create conversation prints with a sense of fun - exploring the interaction between different motifs with a delicate sense of colour.
