Sue Lowe

Sue is interested in surfaces and patterns created by the action of nature. She lives on the West Somerset coast, where the shoreline and it’s unique geology are a constant source of inspiration.

Collagraph is the main technical strand of Sue’s printmaking Her collagraphs are richly-textured, often printed from multiple plates, with elements of chine collé. More recently Sue has been investigating approaches to monotype printing. In these prints imagery develops intuitively, with several passes though the press, using stencils. Relief impressions offset from old collagraph plates add textural detail. The underlying themes are light on water and the movement of the sea.

Sue received a fine art degree in 2004 from the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham. Sue works from Albatross Print Studio in Watchet.
