Gabrielle Hawkes
Gabrielle Hawkes has lived and worked in St. Just, Cornwall since 1982 finding inspiration in the interplay between inner and outer landscapes, drawing on her imagination as well as the coastal environment. As well as being a printmaker, Gabrielle paints, each medium feeding the other in terms of giving her fresh ideas.
“I am drawn to screen-printing because it involves working with pure colour. I love the element of surprise in the printing process. I start with an image in my mind but I can never predict exactly how the print will turn out as magical things can happen when you blend inks on the screen.”
She has been a member of Penwith Printmakers for over 20 years exhibiting at her studio, The Turn of the Tide, St. Just, (shared with her partner, the painter, Tom Henderson Smith) with the St. Ives Society and at other outlets around Cornwall.
