Loraine Monk’s visual arts practice derives from a sense of place and community.  She creates images using both relief and etching processes. 

Her family were working-class Londoners; inspired by local and community history, her background has influenced her politics, academic research and artistic practice. 

Previously exploring the inequality of power relations and occluded histories of certain people, places and ideas, she has recently worked on a series relating to climate change and animal extinction. She continues her exploration of the human face.

Drawing is at the heart of her work whether it is metal etching on zinc and copper, monoprinting, Lino and wood cutting or wood engraving.

She has exhibited in London, Brighton, Sweden, and Germany. She completed a residency at Kingston Museum, London (January 2020) and gained an MA in Printmaking at Camberwell in 2021.
