Mandi Street Bio

Mandi Street is a landscape artist and printmaker working from her studio at home in Exeter. Her work most often represents local landscapes, from the South West Coast Path and elsewhere. She captures the energy of a place and time, producing work inspired by the spirit of the landscapes she has visited on her walks, with a focus on light, texture and colour.

Mandi was trained as a painter and has a BA in Fine Art. She spent 30 years teaching art, as well as working as headteacher of a local school. Now she focuses on her own work, participating in local exhibitions and taking part in Devon Open Studios.

Currently, Mandi works on canvas and on paper, using collage methods, oil pastels and paint, watercolour as well as relief printmaking.

‘While I trained as a painter, and work in a range of 2D media, for the the last 6 years printmaking has been a preferred medium, specifically linoprinting. For me, mark-making and texture in relief printing does the work of the paintbrush, giving work its own life, direction and force. My approach to printmaking is quite loose and I enjoy going where the materials take me.

As I favour a reduction printing method, where only one piece of lino is used, prints are available in a very ‘limited’ number.’

All work is based on her drawings or photographs taken first hand in the landscape.
