Lisa Benson

An artist and printmaker living on the North West Somerset coast. After a career that included art projects for the youth service and a stint as the Youth Arts Co-Ordinator, illustrating for a national magazine, and several years as a freelance graphic designer,  She finally discovered printmaking in 2017.

With printmaking something clicked, this was the artistic discipline she had been searching for all those years. It combines a carving element, a drawing and painting element, continual problem solving and requires  precision amongst the chaos.  The thrill of pulling a print never seems to get old.  

“I am hugely drawn to nature, as so many of us are. Time in relation to nature has become a recurring theme in my work as has the relationship between us and our natural surroundings. “
