Chris Hicks

I'm a painter/print maker, inspired by the natural world. I also have an interest in British folklore and medieval art.

At the moment, I produce block prints in small limited editions. Each image is individually printed using oil based inks and hand-carved printing blocks. The process is necessarily laborious, but I enjoy experimenting with elements of design and pattern, and I find print-making an ideal vehicle for my ideas.

I studied illustration at Chelsea College of Art (BA Hons) and Brighton University (MA). I am also a qualified teacher.

I've exhibited widely in the south of England, and also exhibit annually with the Society of Wildlife Artists at the Mall Galleries in London.
