My first woodcuts were about canal boats. Subsequently I worked on bridges. Next I worked on drawings and woodcuts of the Ducklington bellringers.

My latest drawings have been of dancers choreographing new works and although it’s easier to convey a sense of movement in a quick medium I have experimented to see what I can do in woodcuts.

It is a lot more difficult to create figures  than hard objects in woodcut as the cuts go along the grain and so cuts across the grain can often result in the wood breaking off and spoiling the image.

I  love the excitement of the relief process as the layers of colour require imaginative thinking before the end result is reached.

Morna has been a member of the Oxford Printmakers for about twenty years.

She studied Fine Art at St Martin’s School of Art in the early 1970s and went on to complete an Art Teaching Certificate at Sussex University before moving to Oxford to teach in one of the City’s upper schools. Since then she has worked in adult education and art residencies throughout Oxfordshire.

Her etchings develop from drawings made in the landscape.

She uses copper for its clean lines and good colour printing, sometimes combining  two plates to create overlap and contrasts of colour.

She works at the Oxford Printmakers as a printmaker, teacher, technician and administrator.

She exhibits nationally on a regular basis.
