It's Going to Snow

Artist Bio:

Sally Hands trained in drawing and painting at Edinburgh College of Art, and began printmaking 10 years later. She has always been fascinated by miniatures, and her preferred medium is wood engraving, as it permits very fine detail on a tiny block, and she enjoys working within a long-established tradition. All of Hands’ images are drawn from life; drawing what she loves and finds exciting to look at, aiming to uplift the viewer.

Hands is an elected member of the Society of Wood Engravers, and has exhibited prints and engravings widely, including at the Royal West of England Academy, Royal Cambrian Academy and Wales Contemporary. She has benefitted from two awards from the Arts Council of Wales, and in 2017 won the John Purcell Prize at the National Original Print Exhibition. Artists who have inspired her include Pierre Bonnard and David Jones.
