My name is Jayne Kozlow and I am a UK based artist and printmaker and Exhibiting Member of the Reading Guild of Artists and Henley Art and Crafts Guild. Based in Berkshire I work from my home studio and the print room at South Hill Park, where I create work that explores aspects of the natural world that intrigue me. I find myself fascinated by the birds and animals that share our lives and the textures and colours of our land. I often work in short series of related works that allows me to really explore and bring the character of my subject to life.

I love to draw, and when I find something that really inspires me, I fill my sketchbooks with ideas and thoughts on how I can pursue the work as a painting or print. When painting I prefer to use Acrylics on either heavy-duty paper or artists board, but I also like to explore the possibilities that charcoal, gold leaf, ink lettering and other mixed media can offer. In printmaking I prefer to work in small limited editions keeping the work fresh using Collagraph, Linocut or Dry Point techniques aided by my fabulous Gunning Press (No 1) from Ironbridge. When creating Collagraphs I especially enjoy working with Tetra Pak and Packaging to create the printing plate as I love the soft varied tones that this naturally creates. I use Akua (soy based) inks in my home studio whilst at South Hill Park I use oil based Hawthorn and Intaglio inks printing on Somerset Satin or Fabriano Unica paper.

I hope that my work will make you smile, and help create a happy comfortable place in your home and if you have any questions about my work then please use the message form on my contact page.
