About Prints by the Bay

Working under the name Prints by the Bay, Nicole is a printmaker specialising in hand-carved linocuts. She has a background in illustration, (studying at Arts University Bournemouth), and that experience brings a strong narrative feel to her print work. She started experimenting with linocut as a medium in 2019, and quickly fell in love with the process. Nicole now exclusively works in print, creating imagery that is intimate and evocative- often transporting the viewer to a moment in time, or to relive a memory of their own. Much of her work is female centric, with a feminine figure making her way through the natural world- the importance of remembering our connection to the earth and environment is strongly depicted in every piece. Contemporary scenes are often mixed with magic and folkore- creating a vintage feel to her prints. Nicole’s work in print has won awards and is exhibited and stocked in galleries and shops globally. Last year she illustrated her first children’s book, which will be published this coming winter. Nicole's products on Faire include digitally printed greeting cards of her designs on recycled card stock, colourful risograph prints of her original linocuts, and homeware products. All prints come packaged with a hardboard/cardboard backing and wrapped in a recyclable cellophane wrap. Cards come plastic and sticker free, but grouped together in a plastic wrap for protection in transit. Read their story
