Lenore has been involved with printmaking since 1980 when she joined a screenprinting company and learned every aspect of commercial screenprinting. Her art practice over time has been shaped by that experience. Her journey has taken her from mass production of street posters with photographic images requiring industrial equipment and toxic materials to the home studio with small editions, hand tools, barens and brayers – a converted antique washing mangle for a press. Her current forms of expression use wood, lino, collograph, monoprinting to create limited edition prints and book art.

Lenore taught Screenprinting techniques at the TAFE School of Graphic Arts, at Ultimo for 8 years and at the Tin Sheds at Sydney University for 1 year. She has prints in the collections of the Power Institute at Sydney University and the Gordon Darling Print Collection, National Gallery.

She has held 5 solo exhibitions and been involved in numerous group shows. Her most recent solo exhibition was held at The Shop Gallery in Glebe in 2018.

Her work is about her urban environment and her garden. She lives and works in her studio in St Peters, Sydney.

Lenore’s classes will focus on basic printmaking techniques, predominately relief printing using wood, lino, monoprinting and collograph.
