Rebecca Homfray - Printmaker

I have been living and working in Ireland for over twenty years, but I grew up in the Kentish countryside in the south east corner of England, surrounded by the extraordinarily rich and diverse flora and fauna of unimproved chalk pastureland. I was inspired as a child to try and capture some of these glories on paper, something I still do many years later in different places and in different ways. Printmaking is a relatively new adventure for me and I find that the huge range of possibilities and uncertainty of outcome make it an exciting medium with which to explore my subject matter. I have no formal training and am largely self taught. Both as a painter and as a printmaker I take inspiration from the natural world. I am a member of the Leinster Printmaking Studio and have exhibited throughout the country and abroad.
