Nicki finds joy in planning a new lino print, and the many stages between the initial sketches and the final ink to paper print.

This medium is ideal for both art prints and surface pattern design and Nicki often vectorises her lino prints to create a new digital piece. Being able to create physical ink prints and digital art using the same carvings makes lino printing a fascinating and versatile art, particularly as carvings can be used repeatedly, and due to the process, each ink print is entirely unique.
