Leonie Bradley
Leonie Bradley works in a wide range of media including filmmaking, etching, making artists’ books, linocuts and wood engravings. She likes capturing glimpses of contemporary culture in this traditional medium, chasing elusive dark greys and seeking original mark-making. She looks for the beauty in mundane, everyday objects and is particularly fascinated by simple forms when they cast strong shadows.
In 2015, Leonie was elected a member of the Society of Wood Engravers. She has made several films about wood engraving as well as fictional short films.
Leonie also writes and is the Editor of Printmaking Today. Writing and filmmaking are integral to her art practice and she often merges the disciplines.
