Quadrant multimedia artists Helen Fitzhardinge , Pradip Griffiths , Sally Marshall and Rosanna Page all share a love of printmaking.
Helen is primarily a printmaker and jeweler. Her favourite printmaking method is waterless lithography which she combines with hand painting or collagraph to add colour to the image. She has recently been experimenting with cyanotype. Helen also produces a range of jewellery made by enameling on recycled steel. She is inspired by the natural world, as well as textures of old walls and graffiti.

Pradip is primarily a mixed media artist who integrates photographic prints, printmaking, painting, and innovative mark making to express her personal ‘felt’ response to the interface between natural and human-made environments. Of particular interest to her are the traces of human behaviour that intentionally and unintentionally shape and reference the landscapes in which we live. Her works often references ancient human-landscape elements like petroglyphs and earthworks. Other works focus more on recent interactions such as graffiti and urban decay.

Sally is a maker of many things – prints, felt, glass art and handmade paper and books. She is practicing a variety of printmaking techniques. Linocut is a favourite and she often uses her own photographs from the landscapes, flora and fauna of the region and from travels with the family as inspiration.

Rosanna enjoys the creative nature of printmaking that allows experimentation with technique, layering and alteration to the edition. These diverse processes, along with the inclusion of mixed media are part of the aesthetic and expressive nature of the medium that inspires her. Her eclectic style reflects Rosanna’s perspective and connection to place with specific inspiration from coastal landscapes.
