Sally Scanlon

I am a printmaker and textile artist working in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. My work is inspired by nature and the countryside. I grew up on the edge of Dartmoor and spent my early years exploring this stunning landscape. I enjoy finding inspiration for my work in the countryside. My camera is never far away!

I have studied printmaking techniques for a number of years. Collagraph printmaking provides an opportunity to incorporate found items from the wild as textures in my work which provides an emotional connection to the places where I have been. My father taught me from a very early age the importance of treating the landscape, and the things within it, respectfully so I am very careful what I select. This ethos is central to my work.

I have recently started eco dying fabric and this has added a new dimension to my textile art. I have created beautiful scarves using flowers and leaves from special occasions that hold special memories.

I have also created Brent Fox Yarns to produce natural dyed wool from native breed fleeces.

I have exhibited my work at Harris Manchester College, Oxford.
