Angie Lewin

Inspired by both the clifftops and saltmarshes of the North Norfolk coast and the Scottish Highlands, Lewin depicts contrasting environments and their native flora in wood engraving, linocut, silkscreen, lithograph and collage. These landscapes are often glimpsed through intricately detailed plantforms. Lewin is interested in the intimate relationships within plant communities, and includes such fine details as seedpods, grasses, flints, and the lines of insect eggs on a flower bud. In 2010, a monograph of her work titled Plants and Places was published by Merrell, and she has been commissioned by a number of additional publishers including Penguin, Faber, Conran Octopus, and Picador.

Lewin studied Fine Art Printmaking at Central St Martins College of
 Art and Design and printmaking
 at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. After working in London as an illustrator, Lewin studied horticulture and a move to Norfolk prompted a return to printmaking. In 2006 Angie was elected to The Royal Society of Painter Printmakers and in 2008 to The Society of Wood Engravers. In 2010 she was elected to The Art Workers Guild. Lewin now lives and works in Scotland.
