Loving Print, Printing Love

Georgie Moore is a Dorset-based artist who creates beautiful and empowering Lino prints, inspired by her love of nature, the Dorset landscape, and her identity as a black English woman of Jamaican parentage.

Her passion for Lino printing grew while studying Illustration, at Art school. She loves cutting grooves into a block, transforming them into crisp lines or bold shapes on paper. It’s a journey of self-discovery that allows her to forget everything and immerse herself in the creative process.

She creates prints with strong tonal contrasts. She uses Chine Collé, single, reduction, or multi-block relief-printing techniques on heavyweight art papers or delicate Japanese hand-made ones.

Georgie designs every element of her print. Sometimes, ideas come to her in a flash, the completed image in her mind. Her task then, is to translate that to the block and bring the final print to life.

She creates empowering images that counter pre-conceived notions of ethnicity and beauty. Her prints include Ghanaian (Adinkra) symbols that speak of life, love, work, friendships, and God. They link her to unknown ancestors and a heritage she has lost. Her images share a sense of dignity, calm, grace, and quiet power with the viewer.
