Catherine Sutcliffe-Fuller is a printmaker whose work explores the relationship between rural and urban environments, shaped by her own journey between the two.
A childhood spent on a smallholding instilled a lasting connection to nature, which continues to inform her practice. Today, drawing and observing the natural world remain central to her work, offering a sense of structure and continuity within contemporary urban life.
She creates multi-layered prints using lino cutting and zinc plate etching, combining technical precision with a strong foundation in drawing. Her compositions often reflect the interaction between built environments and the presence of nature within them.
Sutcliffe-Fuller studied at York Technical College before completing a BA in Fine Art Printmaking at the University of Brighton. Her work has been exhibited widely, including at the Royal Academy of Arts and the ING Discerning Eye, and is held in a number of public and private collections.

Artist Statement:
“My subject is the urban landscape. Of man who ‘sets the scene’ and the ‘role’ nature has to play. All my work is supported by drawing and I draw inspiration from observing my local culture, landscape and history.”
