Shelley Burgoyne

Shelley is a contemporary printmaker based in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, working across a wide range of printmaking media. Her intuitive creative approach flows through her innovative use of printmaking techniques. Her love of drawing, colour, marks and printmaking provide the starting point and inspiration for much of her image making.

“The framework of printmaking gives me a structure in which I can be experimental. I mainly work with intaglio etching, collagraph, carborundum and relief print processes. My creative approach is organic and intuitive. I often work with multiple plates and create images as I draw on these side by side. I explore form and line, using the potential of printed layers and generate ‘new life’ in the process.” Shelley Burgoyne
