Brenda Hartill R E is a British artist and printmaker based in her studio in East Sussex and in her studio in the Andalucian mountain village of Gaucin in Southern Spain. Her work explores the texture, pattern and light of thelandscape, and ranges from finely drawn figurative works to bold, heavily embossed abstract images. She is most interested in the strong light and shadow of Southern Europe, as well as remote New Zealand, and London cityscapes. Her main medium is print, both etching and collagraph, and she has recently written a book "Collagraph and mixed media printmaking" for A and C Black. She is also interested in collage which has recently led to a new series of works using encaustic wax in which to embed fragments of print and natural materials.
