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.
Hi can you let me know about any workshops that you run, please
Hi Caroline, I’ll send you my latest newsletter which has all my workshops for this year on it and add you to my mailing list so that you’ll be kept up to date, thanks Hester.
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?
Hi Celine, I’m happy to answer a few questions and the best way to contact me is to send me a message via the contact form on my website and I’ll email you back. http://www.hestercox.com. Thanks.
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 .
I’m sorry but I have no idea, probably best to contact the auction house in Leyburn, they might know.
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
Susannah
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.
