I've recently came across the beautiful prints of Australian artist, Barbara Hanrahan.
I love her style and use of lino, but most of all I find it very inspiring to learn that she was a teacher who studied printmaking at evening courses. Being a teacher myself, I always feel a lack of time to make my own work after a busy day of teaching, and I am constantly wishing I had more time to myself to create. I have recently completed a short evening course in lino cutting, and these classes were definitely the highlight of my week.
I thought I would share some of her beautiful artworks here....
Thank you for posting these. She is a talented printmaker. Do you recall their dimensions?
ReplyDeleteHi Carole, Sorry I don't - I'm a bit lazy - I just googled her. I'm glad you also like her work!

A very fine and complex artist. She was also a respected published author. She was a trailblazer in her perceptiveness about women and society. Her printmaking materials (of her era) may have contributed to her eventual illness and death in her fifties. A comprehensive exhibition of her life and work was held at the State Library of South Australia in the 1990s in her home town Adelaide. There have been other tributes.
