ANN D’ARCY HUGHES

Ann trained at the Lanchester College of Art, Coventry, the Stockholm School of Art, and Brighton College of Art.
She was assistant to Anthony Gross at the Slade School for four years, and gained a travelling scholarship to work with S. William Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris.
Since 1971 she has lectured in printmaking at the University of Brighton, and in 2000 founded the Brighton Independent Printmaking workshop.

“My work is essentially about life as I experience it, and the world that I see about me. The prints are centred around figures of varying scale and proportion presented within an imaginary situation. This is intended to produce an atmosphere to which the viewer can relate. I use etching, metal engraving, drypoint, collagraph, lithography, lino, woodcut and wood engraving.”

The images we present here stem from reflections on our journey through life; sometimes calm, sometimes stormy, sometimes alone, sometimes with others.
