Printmaker and surface pattern designer, Andrea Lauren, is known for her hand-carved linocut prints. Born in England and currently based in the US, Lauren discovered her love of printmaking at Columbia University in New York while working on her Master’s degree in music. \n\n\n\n
“Thinking back about it, I remember just wading into carving and printmaking without too much struggle,” she admitted in an interview with the Fishink blog, “it just sort of happened in a natural creative evolution of my work.” Each of her original designs is drawn by hand and then transferred to a rubber or linoleum block. The design is carved into the block and the block is inked and printed by hand. It is then scanned and edited on a computer in her home studio. \n\n\n\n
