Mary Gillett is a printmaker specialising in etching. The lyricism that is inherent in her landscapes sits firmly within the Romantic tradition.

She enjoys the physicality of the process and loves the accidents that happen which give each print its unique character. She believes that it's often the imperfections in a piece of work that make it more exciting. Mary's recent series of prints stems from a journey on Scotland's West HIghland Railway and is a response to the subject of hope, after a long period of personal loss.

She graduated with a Fine Art degree from the University of the West of England in 1979, followed by a PGCE and a Postgraduate Diploma in Printmaking at Brighton University in 1984. She founded Tamar Print Workshop on her return to Devon in 1992 where she has been working ever since.

Mary exhibits extensively in the UK, including the Royal West of England Academy and a broad selection of national and international printmaking shows. Her work is held in many private collections both in the UK and abroad, and in permanent collections which include the Cape Cod Museum of Modern Art (USA) and Torre Abbey (UK).
