Alison Deegan creates short editions of single and multiple colour lino prints. For her lino printmaking is about capturing a glancing encounter or a moment in a landscape through sketching and design, tracing, and carving, blending colours and inking and finally pressing. She loves the physicality of the relief printing process and the transformation of the vaguest of pencil sketches into bold unambiguous mark making.

Her approach is organic and flexible she rarely begins with a fixed idea of the outcome but instead edits and re-works right through to the end of the process Alison trained as an archaeologist and has a career making maps of archaeological landscapes from air photos and LiDAR imagery.
