Richard Foster
Welcome to my website. I’m a printmaker based on the edge of the Lake District, with a studio looking out over the wide expanses of Morecambe Bay. I’m fascinated by the processes of printmaking; how fleeting and changing inspirations from the natural world can be fixed permanently on the printing plate. Each print is produced by hand in a small limited edition, with each print an individual work in its own right. I hope you enjoy my work.
Landscape
Richard is inspired by the northern landscape and how this has been transformed by the actions of climate and man. Trees shaped by the northern climate are a favourite subject, as are the cliffs and stacks of the northern coastline.
Neolithic
Richard’s prints explore Neolithic monuments – standing stones and circles – using profiled drypoint plates and blind embossing to evoke the mass of the stones and the elusive cup and ring marks they display.
Energy of Plants
Inspired by his garden and allotment, Richard’s plant series explores the vibrant energy and regenerative power of plant life. These prints are a celebration of growth and renewal.
