Laura Boswell
is a landscape printmaker working exclusively with linocut and traditional
Japanese woodblock. She has a degree in Art History/Visual Art from the
University of Wales, Aberystwyth and has recently been elected to the Royal
Society of Painter Printmakers. She has undertaken three residencies to train
in Japan, studying woodblock printmaking with master craftsmen, and her work
often looks to Japan in its use of white space and minimal approach. Laura
shares the Japanese appreciation of rigorous training; her work often displays
impulsive line and brushwork, requiring meticulous cutting and printing to give
the impression of fluid spontaneity. In addition to her printmaking, Laura
teaches, writes a column for Artists and Illustrators Magazine and works on the
occasional public art project. Her prints feature in national collections
including the House of Lords and the Library of Wales.
