Amanda Ribbans
Amanda Ribbans is a printmaker and freelance graphic designer whose work is driven by personal storytelling and a love of pattern making.
Influenced by artists such as Edward Bawden and Robert Tavener, she creates bold, imaginative compositions using multi-block and reduction linocuts, and sometimes screen printing.
Colour is central to her process—she often spends a long time mixing inks to get exactly the right tone, choosing palettes for the mood they create rather than for realism.
Much of Amanda’s inspiration comes from her own life experiences and memories, especially personal encounters with nature that leave a lasting impression. While her prints begin with individual moments, she hopes they spark a sense of connection and positivity in others too.
