Description
Since joining the Leinster Print Studio twenty years ago, Katherine Smits has mainly worked with carborundum (a mixture of different grades and quantities of ground carbon with glue). It is then painted or rolled onto a metal or plastic plate giving a painterly effect of texture, tone and colour. She often adds drypoint to the plate for line detail. The natural world has always been her design inspiration, and what is happening to our world today.
