Elaine Marshall says, "I specialise in etching and relief printmaking, and I am inspired by patterns, either man-made as in mazes, labyrinths and Islamic concepts, or by natural forms in the landscape, images of imaginary butterflies, snowflakes, doves and foxes, and by my travels in France, Italy, Morocco and Nepal".

Brittaine, who works mainly in oils, is fascinated by the play of light in […]
