Lino print featuring autumn landscape scene. Signed by Christine McCarthy (Austrialian, b. 1952). 5.5 x 6.7 inch (14 x 17 cm). Christine McCarthy is best known for her hand-coloured lino prints of flora and landscapes. She has been working as an artist for over 20 years. Christine gained a Diploma in Fine Art Painting from the South Australian School of Art in 1976. It was while studying Printmaking at the SA School of Art with Barbara Hanrahan, that her interest in printmaking began. The pattern of nature, particularly the line and texture of plant forms have provided the theme for much of Christine’s work. Among her many influences are Matisse and also the Japanese woodblock artist Hiroshige. In 1988 she held the inaugural exhibition at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. Her work has attracted acclaim and interest internationally. In 2000 and 2002, Christine held successful exhibitions in Tokyo Japan. Christine recently exhibited new works at Art Images Gallery, Norwood. Among the prints were a series of figurative images, displaying an exciting new theme to her work.
