Elaine Marshall was born and still lives in Greenwich. She studied at Goldsmiths College School of Art, then followed a postgraduate course at the Slade School of Fine Art. She was awarded the David Murray Landscape scholarship. Elaine also has a Hons Degree in Book Arts from the London Institute, involving creating artists’ books. 

 

At her studio she works in several printmaking techniques. Inspiration has come from travels in France, Andalusia, Morocco and Nepal. Tuscan hills and Nepalese rice terraces are among the landscape patterns that appear in her prints.  Observing foxes in her garden has inspired a series of linocuts and etchings depicting urban foxes through the seasons. 

 

Elaine  participates  in  the  annual  Greenwich  Open  Studios,  part  of  the  Greenwich  and

Docklands Festival in June. She is a founder- member and gallery manager of the Greenwich

Printmakers,  an  established  co-operative  of  artist  printmakers,  who  run  a  gallery  in  the covered  market  in  the  heart  of  historic  Greenwich.  She also takes  part  in  their  group exhibitions in the UK and abroad.
