Josephine has always been drawn to narrative and is passionate about drawing: working primarily on location, Josephine responds to the world directly around her. Works begun outdoors are completed in situ, through wind and rain, heat and storm. In the studio these works are combined with memories, passages from literature and images from film. The focus shifts between fragments of remembered moments and sketches. Light on the back of a shining beetle, fluorescent windows in tower blocks, a figure against the rising moon, her mother at her dressing table, changing weather, walking the dog. The every day beauty of the ordinary day, picked out and collaged together; printmaking enables this. Her monotypes are the first assemblages of ideas and “the most exciting moments”, working blindly. These monotypes in turn inspire etchings and lithographs. Josephines works are shown and published world wide, garnering awards for her Illustration and printmaking throughout her career. She has a1st class MA and BA Illustration and is a Royal Drawing School Drawing Year Scholar. She teaches Printmaking at AUP.
