Louise Stebbing is an experienced artist/printmaker. 1983 BA(hons) Fine Art Degree at Sheffield 1985 Postgraduate course in Printmaking at Camberwell School of Art in London.
I have been mesmerised by printmaking techniques since attending Art Foundation Course at Cambridge. I use a variety of techniques but recently have concentrated on linocuts.
I draw inspiration from my environment and try to capture the essence of a place for example the dramatic fen skies and simple but intense landscapes. My images usually start with a sketch and I like the print to evolve as I create it - not working out too much detail in advance, but using my 30 years of experience to let the image develop in the direction it happens to take me at that particular time.
