Original Reduction Linocut Prints by Jane Duke
As a dedicated printmaker based in York, I channel my passion for nature and the outdoors into creating intricate reduction linocut prints. My artistic journey began with watercolour and portrait painting before evolving into printmaking, a medium that perfectly complements my meticulous approach. Each piece is crafted in small limited editions, ensuring uniqueness and attention to detail. My work captures the tranquillity of woodlands, footpaths, and waterways, offering viewers a visual escape into serene landscapes.

With over a decade of experience organising York Open Studios, I actively engage with the local art community as a member of York Art Workers Association and co-founder of York Printmakers. My practice combines traditional techniques like collagraphy and drypoint etching with modern interpretations, shared through exhibitions, social media, and educational newsletters. Customer satisfaction remains paramount, evidenced by the global appreciation for my work, from the UK to the USA.
