Sharon Curtis

Sharon moved to the Hereford and border areas around 25 years ago and is a relatively new artist. She is a graduate of Hereford College of Art.

My work has two mediums – as a Paper-cut Artist, creating three-dimensional artworks on the finest quality papers, with intricate designs that are completely cut by hand using the equivalent of a surgeon’s scalpel. Each piece is technically a one-off as there will always be variances between two apparently identical pieces (no templates, lasers, or dies are used). I only create a very limited number of each different design.

And the other as a Printmaker producing limited edition prints from handcut reduction lino (and also etching though to a lesser extent of late). I decided to produce a series of lino prints in fondness of the beefy extract (aka Bovril R) done initially as a private study, I received much praise from friends and visitors that this led me to pursue other brands that have become enshrined in our daily lives, to the point that we/people become obsessed by them. Again I only produce a limited edition of each print generally in different colour ways making each print totally unique.
