Book Artist, Printmaker, Letterpress / Words are my inspirations to making art. The feel of a handmade journal to capture your thoughts and ideas. The inky feel of rolling up a letterpress plate and transferring letters to paper. Creating collagraphs, lino carving and other printing techniques to create what I wish to say.
I also apply printed images to wooden paddles. Birds, NZ Native bush, Rocks, Maps are a great source of my inspiration.
My printing name is: veresmithpress
