INSPIRATION

Safe Passage by St. Mary’s Lighthouse is a semi-abstract monotype original print inspired by the coastal rock formation patterns of Northumberland’s coastal geology. This art print is a fine art digital reproduction art print inspired by a coastal walk when the first Covid restrictions were lifted and we were allowed to travel a bit further from home to get out into the fresh air. St. Mary’s Lighthouse is an iconic landmark off the coast of Tyneside.

“The idea began with a lovely dog walk along the Northumberland coast during the early summer of 2020, when we were finally allowed to leave our homes after the lockdown. It was a beautiful sunny, breezy day and St. Mary’s Lighthouse was standing prominently on the rocks at low tide. As we walked south in the direction of the lighthouse I noticed the block like coastal rock formations, the cracks and the square shapes that jut into the sea.

That was my starting point for this print. I made a stencil based on those shapes and used the stencil repeatedly, in layers, to create patterns in the sky and under the water. The final step to finish the print off was the use of printed coastal grasses and seed heads. I made a stencil to use repeatedly to create patterns in the sky and water and finished with printed coastal grasses .“
