Taking its cue from Women of Influence: the Pattle Sisters in the historic galleries, our annual print exhibition this year focuses on the work of seven female printmakers, whose themes have echoes of the lives and interests of the Pattle sisters.

Covering travel and Ango-Indian subjects, along with photography, fashion, sisterhood and the place of women in the creative and literary worlds, the seven printmakers in the exhibition bring a wealth of colour, medium and artistic styles to Watts Contemporary Gallery.

Exhibiting artists include:

• Clare Haxby – prints inspired by her travels to Singapore and Paris
• Rosalind Hobley – cyanotype portraits of flowers
• Natasha Kumar – British Indian art, screenprints
• Sonia Martin – sisterly-themed monochrome etchings, hinting at stories
• Helen Murgatroyd – linocuts inspired by English village life and her travels in Nepal
• Naomi Munuo - prints inspired by fashion and literature
• Lizzie Wheeler – atmospheric linocuts of family and the natural world
