About

I am a printmaker based in the Yorkshire Dales, UK. Following my graduation from an Illustration degree course, I have been making prints for over 30 years. The excitement of peeling off the paper after I have wound my inked and wiped printing plate through my etching press remains as compelling and exciting as the first time that I did it!

My preferred methods are collagraph, linocut and monotype but I’ll try my hand and experiment with any printmaking method and am always seeking to discover new techniques. I exhibit my prints regularly and sell them in various galleries throughout the UK. You can view them and find out more at my website: www.hestercox.com.

When I am not creating prints you can find me running in the fells or having adventures with my husband and two dogs, Luna and Teasel.

  1. Hi, I’m doing a presentation about printmakers in my art class, would you mind telling me more about you and your inspiration in making prints?

  2. Hi Hester , I have an original painting of ‘ Lady Hill ‘ in Wenslrydale by Marii Hartley
    and wondered if you would have any idea of its value .

  3. Dear Hester,
    I have an owl card of yours that I can’t give away. I am wondering if you have it as a print to help me with this problem.

    I was sorry to see your insta is hacked, I hope that you are up and running again.

    Best wishes

    • Hi Susannah, thanks for the message. My website is back up now! Which owl card do you have? I have a few in my greetings card range and John Austin Postcards also publishes cards with my designs and he has a couple owls available. It should say on the back of the card which design it is and then I’ll know if it is still available. Thank you for your enquiry, Hester.
