Gill Thornton is a linocut artist who creates original, limited edition prints from her studio in Garboldisham. Her artwork is mostly inspired by the landscapes of East Anglia or other places she has visited. Many of her prints feature local birdlife, especially on the local fens.

Gill’s fascination with linocuts began after unexpectedly receiving a basic kit for Christmas in 2013. Since then, she has experimented with various techniques and attended a number of linocut workshops, which helped fire her interest in using the reduction method to create multi-coloured prints from a single piece of lino. It is the unpredictability of reduction prints that Gill finds most absorbing.  

Gill’s prints are held in numerous private collections around the world. Her palette is generally quite muted, which gives her work a distinctive look and depth.
