Biography

Eleanor Russell-Hsieh’s work explores the beauty and importance of flora and fauna.

She experiments with various mark-making techniques in her printmaking – from the delicate scratching of drypoint that speaks to her love of drawing, to the looser monotype method. Forest dwellers, ocean oddities or dark, woodland vignettes – all work together to evoke a sense of intrigue in the viewer, inviting them to consider what each image represents beyond the nostalgia they might see on the surface.

Eleanor graduated from Camberwell College of Arts in 2003 with a BA in Paper Conservation.

She has exhibited since 2013 in a wide range of independent mixed exhibitions, as well as the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and the Bovey Tracey Contemporary Craft Festival. Her work is shown in a number of galleries in Cornwall and Devon.
