Sarah Hopkins

I’m a printmaker living in South Wales.

Man-made environments and industrial landscapes are recurring themes in my work. I have always been fascinated by the architectural shapes and patterns which describe the physical landscape. Through my printmaking I try to communicate the history and culture of a place. My recent work focuses on heritage and the significance of treasured objects and heirlooms.

Through printmaking techniques, I challenge myself to explore new ways to present my observations. With a passion for screenprinting, I like to push the boundaries of the process, and play with colour. I create intricate, hand-cut paper stencils, and layer vibrant colour to build my images. I like to break the rules of traditional printmaking and experiment by printing light pigments over dark, enjoying the translucency and opacity of the medium.

Although I have exhibited as a solo artist for 35 years, collaboration continues to enrich my personal experience and broaden my expertise.
