Spotlight: Buckmaster and French
Based in Suffolk, Emma Buckmaster and Jane French work together on an ongoing series of etchings of British trees printed onto paper made from the leaves of the trees they depict.
Janet French gained a BA (Hons) Fine Art at Colchester School of Art and Emma received an MA in Printmaking at the Cambridge School of Art. They jointly chaired Gainsborough's House Printmakers for three years and in 2019 Buckmaster and French were made Fellows of the Society of Botanical Artists.
