Sophie Elm is a printmaker, designer and illustrator, creating botanical and horticulturally inspired linocut prints, block printed textiles, and ephemera.
Her work is driven by seasonal changes in the garden and countryside around her, as well as her interest in pastoral traditions, folk art and old graphics.
She uses bold colours, pattern and often combines typography too; an influence from her illustrative background.
Although her work is predominately hand burnished linocuts, she likes to experiment with other forms of printmaking and image making too, including block printed textiles, letterpress, screen print and paper cut.
All pieces are created in her home studio in Gloucestershire.
