Angie Lewin

Angie Lewin is a British printmaker working in linocut, wood engraving, lithography and screen printing.[1]

Early career

After working in London as an illustrator Lewin studied horticulture. A move to Norfolk prompted a return to printmaking, and she is now based near Aylsham.[1]

Current works

Angie Lewin - Plants and Places, published by Merrell, is drawn throughout by Lewin’s prints, drawings and textile designs. Author Leslie Geddes-Brown writes: or lithographs, so full of vigour and beauty. Endlessly repeated, the wild flowers and grasses crowd into her fabrics; they appear in her collages made of old paper and print cut-outs; and, in botanical detail, they fill her sketchbooks[2]

As well as designing fabrics and stationery for St Jude's, which she runs with her husband Simon, Lewin has completed commissions for Penguin, Conran Octopus and Picador. She has also designed fabrics for Liberty's Autumn Winter 2010 collection, including the Winter Stem design that has also been used for Liberty's 2011 Comic Relief Shopper Bag.[3]
