Hello! I'm Saffron Sunley, a printmaker and illustrator from Yorkshire. I create and sell original linocuts with a focus on plants and wildlife in my local area. Please enjoy browsing my work.

About

I am currently an undergraduate university student in Illustration, making use of any spare time to work on linocut printmaking in my room. I love the methodology of working with lino, and the experimentation and problem solving required. I joined the lovely York Printmakers group near to the end of 2025, and participate in several fairs and art markets throughout the year where you can purchase my work or just come for an arty chat!

Aside from printmaking, I primarily work in watercolour. The freeness while colour mixing and subtlety it gives on the page drew me to it against other paint mediums. I have had a recent focus on repeated pattern making with watercolour and am interested in a career in pattern design. I have recently been combining linocut with watercolour; I've really enjoyed the results and am excited to experiment further.
