Kelly Stewart is an Australian artist/printmaker based in the Marchmont area. She focuses primarily on drawing architecture from the gothic, Victorian and Georgian periods. The drawings are quirky interpretations of Edinburgh cityscapes which are integrated with handwritten text and textural qualities. Kelly transfers the drawings into a series of hand generated layers on transparent films in preparation for the printmaking process . Limited edition original silkscreen prints are screenprinted by hand by the artist at the Edinburgh printmakers workshop.

‘Silkscreen printing provides an exciting, inspiring and spontaneous way of collaborating and overlaying drawings, mark making and handwriting with endless possibilities’. When she’s not at the Printmakers workshop Kelly enjoys travelling throughout Europe exploring the incredible architecture in historic old towns and experiencing the immense variety of culture and food.

Kelly continues to produce limited edition silkscreen prints as well as original drawings for commissions both in and beyond Edinburgh.
