Vicky Oldfield is a contemporary British printmaker known for her distinctive collagraph prints, an experimental printmaking process that involves building textured printing plates from materials such as card, fabric, paper and string. These collaged plates are inked and printed using an etching press, producing richly embossed surfaces and atmospheric imagery.
Because of the experimental nature of the process, each print is slightly different, resulting in small editions where every work retains a unique character. Oldfield draws inspiration from everyday observations of plants, flowers and domestic objects. Hedgerow weeds, garden blooms and arrangements of bottles or books often appear in her compositions, reflecting a fascination with pattern, structure and the subtle forms found in nature.
She studied Design at Staffordshire University before continuing her printmaking studies at Richmond School of Art, and her work has been exhibited widely across the UK.
