Luminita (lu-min-it-sa) comes from the Romanian for "little light". It’s an appropriate name for a short artist, making small prints about the little, everyday joys that amuse us who happened to marry a Romanian. I share my home in Braunston with the woodpeckers, badgers and foxes that visit from the neighbouring pocket pack, in Northamptonshire.
Working in linocut, my designs develop from my interest in local, native wildlife and our relationship with it. I enjoy making works in a series using a limited colour palette and exploring the poetic in the everyday.
I feel a strong empathy with creative work which explores the social outsider. We all have our tribe, it may be small but can be mighty!
My work is made on my kitchen table in Braunston, by the grand union canal.
