Cathy King originally trained as a Montessori
teacher followed by a degree in Art. This led King to return to her original
interest of drawing and printing, she has been a member of the Double Elephant
Print Workshop since 2009. King's chosen print methods are linocuts,
collagraphs and monoprints, she favours each of them for their individual
qualities. For instance, monoprinting has a spontaneous nature whereas linocuts
allow strong lines and bold shapes to shine and produce simple yet striking
results. King's main source of inspiration comes from her surroundings, the
natural and urban landscapes of Devon.
