GILL THORNTON

From nature to print

About the artist

Gill is a linocut artist who creates original, limited edition prints from her studio in Garboldisham. Her artwork is mostly inspired by the landscapes of East Anglia and other places she has visited. Many of her prints feature local birdlife, especially on the fens.

Gill’s fascination with linocuts began after unexpectedly receiving a basic kit for Christmas in 2013. Since then, she has experimented with various techniques and attended a number of linocut workshops, which helped fire her interest in using the reduction method to create multi-coloured prints from a single piece of lino. Gill also enjoys teaching linocut workshops.
