Born in Yorkshire 1970. Brought up in Cumbria.

Roseanna studied at Norwich College of Art.

After working in theatre with costumes she returned to her artwork and found etching a medium in which she could express herself. Her work is mainly etchings, reflecting the beauty of the Eden Valley and Pennine landscape around her home in Appleby, Cumbria. Roseanna's work is collected in Britain, Australia and USA.

She has had four successful exhibitions at the Courtyard gallery, Appleby in 1998, 1999, 2004 & 2019 One in 2000 for the Lake District National Park at their Seatoller exhibition centre, a group show at Barningham Hall, North Yorkshire and Ormathwaite Hall, Keswick, 2002 and 2003. In 2003 she exhibited at Printfest, Ullverston, Eden Valley open studios tour, and in 2004 she was part of the Eden Valley open studios tour. Roseanna has lately been creating monoprints.

Roseanna set up her own studio in Appleby summer 2002.

Colin Blanchard worked as a ‘master’ printer, editioning original screen prints for many well-known artists whilst teaching printmaking and design in London.

A career change brought him to Cumbria & over ten years ago he became a full time artist again, based in the Borders.

Neil Bousfield studied at Bristol’s University of the West of England where he gained a Master of Arts degree in Multi Disciplinary Printmaking, awarded with distinction in 2007.

An elected member of The Society of Wood Engravers and the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers, Neil exhibits regularly with both societies alongside exhibitions in the UK and USA.

Piers followed a classical path through the Byam Shaw then Royal Academy Schools, traveled widely in Europe, Africa, Iceland, Poland, Java, often on foot. He found his abiding inspiration simply in all natural beauty seen in vibrating light. Settling in Wensleydale after art school in 1975 encouraged this.

He exhibited regularly at the R.A. Summer show. He painted very large oils and drew, but in small coloured etchings or black and white drypoints the intensity of his vision was often best expressed. Such prints have been reproduced in his five books: A Shropshire lad; An Elegy in Arcady; William Wordsworth: A Lakeland anthology; Wensleydale; The Glorious trees of Great Britain.

Sarah Cemmick studied environmental illustration at Sunderland University which started a love affair with lino printing. She was awarded the Lloyds private banking award at the Society of Wildlife Artists for her print, Rhino Lino.

She has spent the following years creating new works which have been exhibited throughout the UK. Sarah now lives in the shadow of Crossfell in the beautiful Eden Valley, current works are inspired by the hares, songbirds and abundant furry creatures she sees in and around the surrounding fells.

Janice Earley was born in Cumbria.

She studied fine art at Durham and went on to teach.

"I am a self-taught photographer and darkroom printer, believing both arts equally important in creating the sense of atmosphere that captivates the beauty and ruggedness of the Cumbrian landscape. Favouring time consuming traditional black and white darkroom processes over digital techniques. I believe it is only natural in the creation of a landscape print. The print itself is created by the 'drawing of light' as the image is projected and worked onto the photographic paper. This not only gives control over the image but gives a feeling to the print similar to that felt at the time of the initial exposure, as the natural light drew the landscape.

Each print can have up to fifteen separate processes. This makes no two prints identical and they are as unique as the landscape itself. Techniques include: split grade printing, dodging, burning, bleaching and multiple toning.

My main focus of interest is the way elemental physical forces of nature occasionally, with the help of man, sculpt and form the landscape. Living in the Eden Valley enables me to visit locations several times throughout the seasons. I use locations mainly around the edges of the Valley which include the Lake District to the West, Yorkshire Dales to the South and the North Pennines to the East, all areas of outstanding natural beauty. But underneath the glossy picture postcard image is a harsh, rugged, wild landscape that is my main source of inspiration..."

Rebecca's work is made mostly in response to the landscape and to plants within the landscape. Her printmaking is mostly stone and plate lithography, carborundum etching and monotypes. Ideas cross from one way of working to another. The randomness of a monotype may result in an image which couldn't have been envisaged at the outset, or arrived at by other means.

Rebecca lives and works in Blencarn, in the Eden Valley.

Susie works almost entirely in aquatint (images made up entirely of tones, with no drawn lines) or makes monoprints painted directly on the printing plate.

She loves aquatints for the range of contrast possible, and for the velvety effect it gives, especially with darker colours. Much of the work is made using multiple plates, which are laborious to create, but give wonderful luminous colours in the prints.

Susie went to the London College of Printing in 1963-1967, and then worked as a graphic designer in the 60s and 70s. In 1984, she started full time as an artist, specialising as a printmaker in etchings, line and aquatint. She also taught print at the LCP and for the Outreach programme of Dulwich Picture Gallery's Education Department. She has also been commissioned for complete editions destined for P&O liners: Oriana, The Pride of Rotterdam, The Pride of Hull and Queen Mary 2.

She has had prints regularly shown at The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

Eddie was born and bred and still lives in Appleby,Cumbria . Although inspired by the wealth of Lakeland artists, he feels more inclined to "home in" on detail within the landscape.

Increasingly drawn towards any subject in a state of disrepair, overgrown or derelict, he finds these subjects have a beauty of colour and texture in their neglect which is often overlooked.
