Profile
Hello, I’m Claire Thompson, the artist and maker behind Inky Badger.
I’m self-taught and create linocuts and prints from my home studio in West Yorkshire, UK.
My images often feature creatures, symmetry and elements of nature. I take inspiration from the people in my life, the things that I love and everyday occurrences that make me smile.
Although I use traditional methods and materials to create my linocuts, I like to experiment with a variety of techniques to add colour and finish them, such as spray painting, chine collé, metal leaf and hand finishing with inks or paint.
My work is available to buy through my website (www.inkybadger.co.uk) and I regularly post on my progress on instagram @inkybadger
My aim is to make art that resonates with people and brings a little joy!
