Miranda Whitten-Walker

I make hand-made prints, paintings and drawings.
My subjects are mostly landscapes and wildlife. I'm particularly influenced by British hill ranges and the nature I find while roaming the landscape.

I make linocut prints using the reduction method, in very limited editions. Hills are often the stars of my landscape print designs and I often force the perspective to establish a hill more obviously in the context of its surroundings. I like to hint at the imprints of humans and animals too, by creating my trademark abstract textures and shapes in the terrain. My finished designs often comprise multiple layers of colour, printed sequentially by hand or with my new etching press. I also occasionally make drypoint and collagraph pints, or print onto fabrics. I find the versatility and potential of printmaking extremely exciting.

My paintings and drawings are usually realistic and detailed. I often use a mixed-media approach for these artworks (acrylic, gouache, oils and modern cross-over mediums, ink, pencil & coloured pencil), especially when depicting wildlife.
I also produce scientific illustrations to commission.
