About

 

Jennie Syson is a printmaker whose practice engages with relief print techniques on both paper and ceramics, drawing on motifs rooted in mythology, folklore, and esoteric histories. Her recent bodies of work reference archetypal figures such as the wodewose and the green man, as well as medieval mystics and inhabitants of imagined woodland spaces. Her prints articulate a dialogue between landscape, memory, and symbolic narrative, often informed by vernacular flora, fauna, and rural iconography.

In addition to her studio practice, she has contributed significantly to the field as a curator, having delivered several public art commissions, founded an independent gallery, and organised a number of festivals and exhibitions. She holds BA in Printmaking from Norwich School of Art and an MA in Curating Contemporary Art from the Royal College of Art.

Her work spans linocut, intaglio, screenprint, and monoprint processes. She is a member of Leicester Print Workshop and an associate of Two Queens Studios. Recent projects include a limited-edition Tarot deck and hand-printed ceramic sculptures. She has exhibited widely, including at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and she was recently commissioned to produce a limited-edition linocut for the FOREST exhibition at Nottingham Castle Museum & Art Gallery.
