Pam Grimmond is an artist and printmaker based in Markington,Yorkshire. After completing her initial training in Art and Education, in Stoke on Trent and Birmingham, she worked in education for 18 years, teaching in primary schools. Throughout this time she continued with her own art practice and attended a wide range of workshops and courses. She returned to education to study Applied Creative Design at Leeds Metropolitan University
Birds and the natural forms of trees and plants seen on walks around her home are a constant source of inspiration. Shapes and colours from these landscapes often find their way into her work.
Pam works by developing drawings into areas of colour and texture, which are then transferred to lino, prior to cutting. Although she has explored working in a variety of printing media, this process allows her to build up layers of colour, creating exciting and unexpected effects.
