Natalie McIntyre

Natalie McIntyre is a Cambridgeshire based artist and illustrator who specialises in insect artwork from detailed pen drawings to colourful linocut prints. She graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art with an MFA in Fine Art Media in 1999, and in 2020, during the first UK lockdown, she started to work in relief linocut printing, which has led to a new body of work that celebrates colour and precision using the reduction linocut method. She is inspired by their limitless diversity in terms of their shape, colour and texture, studying their physiognomy at close range and making them appear both monstrous and beautiful.
