Jane Beecham
“Although usually known as a printmaker, my work is now made using drawing, painting and printmaking methods on paper.
Inspired by ice entrapment, snow, the sea, rockpools, and reflections, I work in many levels of ink to create intensity and depth, and make watery, layered images with a translucence and luminosity unique to the method and perfect for my subject matter.”
