Profile
Fiona Hamilton is a Bristol based printmaker. Her work explores the ecological sublime and an appreciation of the majesty of nature. She uses detailed intaglio etching, drypoint, lithography and chine collé to draw the viewer into an ethereal landscape that has an impact on our sense of place in relation to the natural world. She uses primarily black and white, often utilising the natural tones of chine collé, and sometimes layers of lithographic texture to introduce warmth to the stark palette. Often the harsh contrasting tones of black and white are utilised invoking a sublime emotional connection. She works from sketches, photographs, notes and memory to create her prints.
Fiona has an MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking from The University of the West of England and Fine Art Printmaking from Canterbury. Fiona creates her work at Spike Print Studio and sells artwork through galleries and shops in the UK. She has exhibited her work in fairs and open exhibitions including Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, Bainbridge Contemporary and Wells Art Contemporary.
