A Tropical Forest Beneath - Limited Edition of 10 Print

Sherrie-Leigh Jones is an Artist and Printmaker based in Brighton, East Sussex. She creates limited edition and original landscape prints inspired by nature and changing seasons, offering the viewer a sense of escapism, a transportation to a new place and a journey through imagined landscapes. The Japanese woodblock printmaking movement known as Shin-hanga (New prints) and Sansuiga (Japan) or Shanshui (China); paintings which depict an idealised landscape using the forms of mountains, rivers, clouds and mist, inspire her prints. Mountainous landscapes and the romantic sublime also influence her work. To create her prints, she assembles collages using her travel photographs and photos taken on walks in the English countryside, which are then combined with paintings and occasionally found imagery. The finished compositions are then taken into the print studio to be exposed on screens and hand pulled as screenprints, resulting in the final artworks. Some prints are also hand printed using the cellulose transfer printing technique. Read more about the techniques used here. Jones exhibits in the UK and internationally, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2021. Her work is held in Jeremy Cooper's Collection and private collections in the UK, France, Germany, Taiwan, New York and L.A. In 2020, she was awarded an a-n Bursary: Time Space Money, supported by a-n The Artists Information Company and Arts Council England, and in 2018 was invited to be a part of Woolwich Contemporary Editions. In 2015, Jones was awarded a Print Futures Award and in 2013, her SS13 collaboration with fashion label, To Be Adored (tba), featured on the front cover of Grazia China.
