Prints by the Bay is the printmaking practice of Nicole Purdie, an illustrator and printmaker from Bridport, Dorset. Working primarily in the medium of linocut, Nicole creates unique and engaging prints that examine the connections between people and place; often dealing with the female experience, that weave together themes of nature, climate, and the human connection we have to our environment.
Her style is a fresh and modern twist on traditional printmaking techniques. She creates small batch limited edition prints in both monochromatic and reduction linocut, and products printed with her unique designs.
She creates all her work in her home studio in Dorset and prints on a Gunning etching press. Nicole has worked on many commercial illustration projects for big name brands, and exhibits around the world. Prints by the Bay uses eco-friendly methods where possible in all areas of the business - from paper to packaging.
