Rachel Snowdon is a West Devon-based printmaker and illustrator. She initially acquired a BA in Fine Art, followed by an MA in Photography, both from Central Saint Martins, London.
Specialising in traditional lino-printing techniques, Rachel’s craft explores the nostalgia and wonder of ornamental 19th century design, fine botanical illustration, and whimsical, folkloric motifs which reference the seasons and the hedgerows. Storytelling and attention to detail, is also an important facet to her imagery, and every print comes with its own framework of research.
Working from her home studio, she offers a curated, harmonious selection of prints, as well as more unusual paper-based goods such as seed-saver packets, vintage-style bookplates, and decorative gummed stamps. Her work is available on her website, in selected independent shops and galleries, and in person at specialist craft or print fairs.
Rachel also accepts linocut illustration commissions, and has exhibited her prints in the UK and internationally.
