In the foreground are flowers and plants typically found along the marches of the Norfolk coast. A Sailing barge is sailing back towards Morston and Blakeney Point can be seen in the distance . Jo Padfield, printmaker and artist, is available for sale online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. Jo Padfield is an artist based in rural Norfolk - I love the natural world and my work celebrates nature and the natural environment, using bright vibrant colours and bold eye catching shapes and patterns. After studying at Norwich School of Art I went on to study and work in architecture. As my path in design continued, I have developed my love of colour and graphics in print making to create linocut prints. I like the process of cutting fresh lino with sharp tools and the anticipation of peeling paper off an inked block...

This linocut is all about the tradition of a farm pond, often used by cattle, but in this case it is full of waterlilies at the edge of a field. The sun was glinting on the water and...

The first crop to ripen is usually the barley. Hares can be seen running through it as it gives good cover for them. You need a keen eye to see these fast creatures, but a glance at ...
