Staff/Lecturers

Ann d'Arcy Hughes
BIP Etching and Lino/Wood tutor.
Founder (2000) and co-director of Brighton Independent Printmaking. Lecturer in Printmaking, University of Brighton.

Before joining the teaching staff at the University of Brighton, Ann worked as an assistant in etching to Anthony Gross (4yrs) at the Slade School, and then in Paris at Atelier 17 with S.W.Hayter.

Regional Organiser for the Open College of the Arts (10yrs), Course Leader Printmaking Certificate (10 yrs). Ann has made a 70minute video about art. She was joint 1st prize winner of the Fine Press Book Association Award 2004.

Ann uses the language of art and imagery through printmaking to express what cannot be relayed verbally. Her work depicts the human passage through life, exploring differing levels of perception and understanding, time and scale.

Gary Goodman

BIP Drypoint tutor
Gary paints images of acute directness, he places the figure at the forefront of his work, and is untroubled by artistic self consciousness, ego or politeness. He creates work of intense human understanding that belongs to the lineage of artists that include Dubuffet, Van Gogh, and Munch, with echoes of the profound spiritual knowing of Knut Hamsun, Ingmar Bergman and Arvo Part.

Gary has exhibited all over the world, from Alaska to New Zealand. He has undertaken many artist's residencies and workshops, and has won several awards to travel.

Sue Haseltine
Sue's work is inspired mainly by the landscape of the Downs and personal experiences. Her images are an interpretation of the landscape in an abstracted form, particularly exploring linear forms and circles, and strong colour. Sue works in three printmaking areas - Screenprint, Etching and Lithography.

 

She helps out at BIP in the studio and is one of the screen printing tutors. She also created the BIP website and maintains this and the quarterly brochure.

Carolyn Trant
BIP Paper Manipulation Tutor
I originally trained as a painter at the Slade, and then started printmaking, especially woodcut, and for the last ten years I have been making artist's books. My first books were large woodcuts on Nepalese papers, using text by contemporary poets, hand-cut in wood. Now I make 3D books in interlocking box-structures based on fairy tales and have started writing my own text and designing less conventionally shaped books.

I exhibit annually at the London and Oxford Artists Book Fairs, and sell work to public and private collections in Europe and the USA, including the British Library and the V&A Art Library.

Helen Brown
BIP Lino and soft wood tutor.
Helen is a landscape artist, an experienced printmaking teacher and outreach programme organiser.

Helen works extensively in relief printing, using soft wood and lino. She specialises in chine colle, a technique of overlaying colorful pieces of thin hand made paper onto the lino block as she prints. The result is a series of wonderfully vibrant landscape images.

Helen works directly from the landscape by cutting the relief blocks on site. She then develops the images further in the studio, making the addition of chine colle. Helen travels extensively to create her work, and she has taught in schools and colleges in Britain and India.
