SUE WELFARE (born 1963) is a self-taught British artist and printmaker based in West Norfolk, and best known for her vibrant linocuts inspired by the local landscape and wildlife.  She transitioned to art in her late 50s after a successful 25 year career as a novelist. She began printmaking in 2018, exploring various crafts before focusing on hand printed richly coloured prints of birds, beaches and countryside, often sharing her passion through workshops.  She uses water based inks and traditional techniques such as reduction linocut.

I don't know a lot about the method of linocut Jenny but this work is surely beautiful and bold.

Once again I’m astounded by the things people can do.  The little I know about linocuts etc, comes from reading these threads.  Delightful work.

They’re very skilfully done, I love all of them! It’s a pretty basic form of printmaking in the whole scheme of things, and to achieve this level of precision and detail is truly exceptional. There’s a good understanding of design running through these selections, everything balances nicely, thanks Jenny…

Beautiful original work, she obviously has a great affinity for birds. The rabbit is beautifully done.

These are really good - I love the Heron.

The guinea-fowl, and the black birds .... fantastic.  Yes, the heron too; well - all of them.  Makes you want to live another lifetime, so you could make a new start with printing and explore all art forms.... but unfortunately, I've only had the one: if I could manage  this vampire thing without getting into trouble, I probably would....   you'd not get bored, would you?  Not with the manifold possibilities of art, anyway - the politics would get tedious...
