Printmaking

Josephine Archer has worked with Printmaking media for over 20 years. Her work incorporates many different techniques layered one on top of the other. Some of the pieces can have more than six layers. 

The layering within Josephine’s work is used to create an ethereal world behind the main graphic images that are comprised of animals, and figurative forms. The images are meant to bring a questioning into the viewers mind about the environment.  

Josephine inspiration comes from long walks and runs within nature. Compositions where trees dominate are her main focus in this series. Glimpses of plants that are known for their healing properties and images relating to animal life and the environment are common elements. She mixes mediums within Printmaking to create layers and graphic representations of these themes.

Josephine’s work has been shown across the nation. These shows include, The Bradley International Drawing and Printmaking Biennial, Yorkshire Galleries, and Print Ireland.  Her work is also in the Edgar Bronson Fine Art Collection and she is a member of Southern Graphics, Non-toxic Printmaking, and College Art Association.
