Printmaker in Focus - Sarah Kirby
April 8 - June 29
Sarah Kirby is an artist and printmaker based in Leicester, in the heart of the East Midlands. Since graduating from a Fine Art Degree in 1984 and being a member of the Leicester Society of Artists, she has been working as a professional printmaker producing work for commercial illustrations and private commissions. Over the past 35 years she has also been involved in working with museums, art collections and a number of Art Residencies and is thrilled to have had the opportunity to regularly exhibit work with fellow artists, both locally and nationally throughout the UK.
In recent years Sarah has also looked deeper into the emotional and historical importance of gardens, green spaces and the countryside, within which buildings often play a key role. Plants, gardens and indeed her own allotments are very close to her heart, not only being an inspiration but also a solace.
