Lisa Hooper SWLA
Lisa Hooper works with a variety of print media. What attracts her to printmaking is the surface quality of the finished prints and the intervention of a craft process between the concept and the image. She also enjoys the process of abstraction which printmaking demands.
Much of her work is inspired by the natural world and in it she attempts to communicate what she sees and feels. In the case of birds it is usually the character or essence of a particular bird or species. At other times the focus might be on the pattern or form made by groups of birds. Lisa’s ambition is to produce images that are recognisable, decorative and resonant.
Lisa works from her home in Galloway, where she has an etching press and an antique Columbian press. She uses reduction for multi-coloured work with wood and linocut but she also makes hand-coloured work from single plates alongside etchings and collagraphs. Her work is typically large in scale and the edition sizes are small.
Lisa’s work is published by Art Angels and Mascot Media and she has written two books about wildlife printmaking published by the Langford Press, and has been a Member of the Society of Wildlife Artists since 2019.
