Born in Herefordshire, Adrienne’s creative path took her North to Manchester where she gained a Printmaking MA. She taught and ran workshops for many years around North West schools and colleges including Manchester Foundation course, University of Central Lancashire, and Stonyhurst College. Returning to Herefordshire with her family, her artistic journey continued with projects in local schools – the children’s work often her biggest influence.
Her printmaking has always been unconventional and experimental, exploring a variety of processes – Collagraph, Carborundum, Drypoint and Monoprinting. She has played with her love of story, song and rhyme and more recently by landscape imagery.
She has coordinated 3 group touring exhibitions –
‘Chanticleer’ – Chaucer’s The Nun’s Priests Tale, International Touring Exhibition
‘The Mare’s Tale’ – Nursery Rhymes, Arts Council funded Touring exhibition
‘Wagging Tongues’ – World Proverbs, Touring Show
‘Mappa Marches’ Arts Council funded touring exhibition 2022
