Shirley Chubb

Shirley Chubb originally trained in printmaking in the 1980s. Her work moved away from print as she developed exhibitions in response to Victorian museum collections and the work and legacy of Charles Darwin, who honed many of his theories during repeated daily walks. This led to collaborative art and health research where she continues to work with physiotherapists, to investigate the significance of walking as a reflective and creative experience. Her current work in print, paint and digital media further explores her interest in walking, and the horizon as a point of reflection in the landscape. 

In her prints she combines monoprint techniques, applying ink directly to the screen, with multiple stencilled layers creating variable editions where each print is subtly different. Her images evolve slowly as layers accumulate, capturing the experience of shifting skies and the changing nature of light on the land when walking.
