Hazel McNab - News

On a day out exploring I went to see Coverack.

There's a gorgeous walk along the coastal path between Gurnard's head and Zennor with lovely views, rocky outcrops, wild flowers and sparkly seas.

The 3rd print in the Kynance series.

So I'd heard about this rockpool but I'd never been.

Cornwall had a lovely sunny day back in March and I walked down to Pedn Vounder beach to stock up on inspiring photos for potential prints.

What a fab summer we've had in Cornwall.

Cornwall is full of these magical places.

Yes I know, another water picture but you know I love them.

So here's how I made my monster of a print, it's taken 2 months and I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Last October I was excited to be asked if I'd design some prints for the St Ives Brewery's Craft Beer cans.

One of my fave beaches.

Back in July 22 I visited Kynance Cove on a gorgeous July evening with my sister.

New Polzeath 14th May looking for compositions.

Antalya piers in Turkey last October.

Here's a photo I've been dying to print since I took it.

Last Light - came from a photograph I took last year walking around Gurnard's Head as the sun was setting and amazingly it had lined up with the rocks to send that shard of light across the sea.

First print of 2024 - St Ives Bay I'm loving the tranquility of this one.

I've been wanting to do a bigger print for a while and thought this rock pool image was just beautiful and so interesting I'd give it a go.

Ooooo how could I resist such a perfect image for a linocut print, I was having a lovely swim but I had to go and get my phone to take a photo This is an addition of 12 but all the skies are different, instead of cutting the clouds I scrapped the ink off…

One of my favourite things about living where I do, in Cornwall and working for myself is, if it's a lovely afternoon, sometimes, I can just go out and enjoy it.

Heading for a swim, walking down the coastal path towards the beach mid May.

The colours of a late afternoon mid February, a beach to myself ( and the dogs ) looking for potential new images to cut.

27th May - 4th June The Orange Circles will be out all over Cornwall this weekend for the next 9 days.

July 2022, a beautiful evening and a swim with my sister down at Kynance Cove.

Soooo here's something different from me!

21st December a beautiful day and the tide would be out at 11am.

I was asked recently if I did commissions, which due to the amount of time it takes to cut and print an image I don't ( they would be too expensive as a one off ) But if it's a popular place and I get inspired I'm happy to make a print.

August went like this, knowing I was having an exhibition of my work in Ironbridge in September I wanted a surprise new print, and... having the fantastic news I was joining the Art Space Gallery on the harbour in St Ives in September it was going to be a…

During the St Ives exhibition I had an explore.

May is turning out to be very busy.
