Sonia Rollo – Sonia’s etchings depict the character of animals wonderfully.  Her distinctive style of printmaking make her work instantly recognisable and well loved by collectors.  She uses both domestic and farm animals in her series.
Kirsten Schmidt – Kirsten’s screen prints of cats illustrate a very personal look at this domestic animal.  Based on Kirsten’s own cats her prints explore the movement and personality of each animal making her prints instantly appeal to a wide audience.
Chris Salmon - Etchings by this renowned printmaker show a fantastic understanding of animals in their surroundings.  His style of printmaking is full of expression and movement and makes this a wonderful series to exhibit for this themed show.

Helen Moore – Helen’s unique etchings bring a playful element to this exhibition as she uses pattern and mark making within her animal forms.   She brings them to life with a bold palette of colours against a predominant black and white print
