Charlotte Sainsbury is a printmaker specializing in collagraph, a versatile technique she uses to create bold, textured, and colourful prints. Working from her home on the Devon/Cornwall border, she draws inspiration from her local surroundings, particularly the marine and industrial heritage of the region. She finds beauty in the romance of abandoned structures juxtaposed with the patterns of the natural world. Charlotte’s creative process involves using the plate as a matrix to produce multiple prints, each treated individually with brushes, rags, and rollers. This approach allows her to emphasize surface details and control colour, resulting in prints that are uniquely expressive despite originating from the same plate. Her work reflects a deep connection to place and a dynamic approach to texture and form.
