Anneliese Appleby

2012 QEST Scholar - Printmaking
Herefordshire

Anneliese’s creative output is fuelled by her passion for the British countryside which she came to love as a teenager when her family settled in the Herefordshire-Worcestershire borders.

Anneliese grew up as a maker, always engrossed in her latest mad-cap project. Her school education led to a degree in Graphic Design and, enchanted by the intrinsic vitality of printmaking, onto an MA in Multi-Disciplinary Print. QEST funding enabled her to receive tutelage with Martin Clark at the historic printworks of Tilley Letterpress Printing in Ledbury. Combining letterpress and linocut provided a perfect synergy which broadened her printworks repertoire and enabled Anneliese to gain invaluable experience in letterpress, as well as aspects of business management, working to commission and nurturing a commercial project.

Alongside teaching, Anneliese’s studio practice now focusses on linocut, including hand-printed wallpapers, stationery and greeting cards. Privately commissioned projects include illustration/design for weddings, letterpress posters, calendars, marketing material and linocut surface design available for licensing.

My prints begin life with drawings, either out in the countryside or from collected objects. I take the sketches back inside to my workspace and develop a design. Later, translating these images into some form of printmaking is when the magic happens!
