Inspired by both the clifftops and saltmarshes of the North Norfolk coast and the Scottish Highlands, Lewin depicts these contrasting environments and their native flora in wood engraving, linocut, silkscreen, lithograph and collage. Pencil and watercolour drawings are made on her walks and also back in the studio
Angie Lewin (née Wood) was born on 18 October 1963 in Bollington, Cheshire, where she grew up. Lewin was schooled at the Macclesfield High School for Girls, and then studied BA (Hons) Fine Art Printmaking at Central St. Martins College of Art and Design between 1983 and 1986, followed by a year’s part-time postgraduate printmaking at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. 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
Tiny, natural and evocative details are what make Lewin's prints, whether wood engravings, linocuts, screenprints 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
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. In 2006 Lewin was elected to The Royal Society of Painter Printmakers and in 2008 to The Society of Wood Engravers. In 2010 she was elected to The Art Workers guild.
