Dehlia Barnard-Edmunds is a printmaker/creative, exploring the diverse and exciting world of print. Currently, she is enjoying the process of linocut printing, monotypes, screen printing on paper and textiles plus collaging.

Dehlia has displayed her work at venues across the country and welcomes the public to her workspace during PAOS Open Studios weekends and also by appointment.

Becoming a recent member of Leicester Print Workshop, Dehlia has been able to broaden her knowledge and practice to interpret her designs using other modes of printmaking such as silkscreen printing using CMYK, a four colour layered approach.

Taking her inspiration mainly from what excites and interests her in her rural surroundings, Dehlia's drawings and watercolour sketches form the basis of designs that are then carefully printed by hand. Ask her about any of her works and Dehlia will be happy to tell you the tale behind it.

Recent works include collages inspired by her ever growing collection of ceramics using papers created from cleaning off her print making tools. The colours and textures created were simply too beautiful not to include in her artworks!

Current work is interspersed with small linocut prints inspired by her travels. These tiny studies are printed using her Adana Press, a small press originally designed for letterpress printing. I wonder if you can guess where she has been...

Dehlia is an experienced teacher offering classes and tutorials, which can be discussed on your visit. The garden is open and refreshments offered.

Handmade chairs from green wood Teas and cakes in the garden

I have been creating for many years.
I graduated from the University of Life Sciences in Poland. There I began to see the beauty in nature.
I started designing gardens. I have painting deep in my soul, and I started painting here in England. I see joy in a colorful garden and want to bring the same mood to the gardens. Many call my style as close to Abstract Impressionism. During my studies, I began to explore Europe in search of inspiration. The German Black Forest, the French Montmartre in Paris, vast fields of tulips in the Netherlands, the Basque culture in San Sebastian, the world of art galleries in London, and finally, the artistically sensitive society of Artists in Peterborough - all of this influenced my charming way of treating colors as a reflection of my mood at the moment. Painting is one of the elements of the sensitive person's environment. Added to it are the plants in the garden, their scent and shape. Sculptures upon which a curious robin always perches, showing off its reddish breast. And woven into all of this are the Lilliput Line cottages, which I collect - completing the enchantment. I invite you to visit my paradise.The mentioned painting works best in the environment of people seeking tranquility and understanding of their surroundings and themselves. In the disorderly colors and techniques, they can find their own memories and solace for their souls. That's why over 20 of my paintings are a constant therapeutic element on the walls of the Central Medical Centre in Peterborough. They immerse patients in contemplation and surprise. Such is also the aim of my life: to provide people with art in a form that makes them feel good. This ensures a well-designed environment both in the garden and at home or work.
