I particularly value spending time in the countryside with my family and as a result, much of the work I produce is inspired by our Rutland rambles! 
.
Pictured is my ‘Walking Back to Ketton’ linocut, inspired by an early Autumn walk around Ketton Quarry

My style tends to vary slightly, depending on the medium I’m using at the time. 
.
For these house portrait illustrations I use a mixture of inks and acrylics and try to keep my painting fairly loose,  fluid and colourful. I then outline with pen and ink to finish it all off, which I find brings everything together

I’m Tina, a Rutland artist, designer and printmaker with a background in theatre design and scenic painting
.
My work is usually full of colour and based on scenes in local towns and countryside. I’m just as happy cutting intricate Lino blocks for printing as I am painting massive murals with oversized brushes!

This is a mural I painted in 2011 for the new children’s waiting room at Stamford Hospital. 
It depicts my 4 children, flying with Peter Pan above Barn Hill in Stamford, looking towards the church spires of All Saints and St. Mary’s. 
It measures approximately 3 and a half metres high by 6 and a half metres wide

‘Twilight Starlings’, designed and created in 2017, is one of my best selling Lino prints. 
It’s inspired by a murmuration of starlings against a winter sunset, viewed from our kitchen window

This is a theatre backdrop I painted with my scene painting colleague, Sandra Field, in 1996, when we both worked for Derby Playhouse. 
 It was for a show called ‘The Rise and Fall of Little Voice’ by designer Martin Johns and measured approximately 25 metres wide by 5 metres high (you can get an idea of scale by looking at the breeze blocks in the top left hand corner) It was predominantly painted using spray guns!
