Edinburgh-based Martha Duncan is an architecture graduate gone designer, printmaker, and illustrator. She started her small business designing art prints at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 as a way to return to her artistic routes. Eversince, Martha has focused on refining her printing techniques, started building ceramics, and developed an irreverent visual language around imagery gleaned from the quirks of everyday life and her love of colour and architecture.
Her work often uses linocut printing techniques and shows Scottish imagery, the illustrated human form, and brutalist architecture in bright and bold colours. Each linocut print that she makes is unique and handmade, with a collection of open edition and limited edition prints.
Experimentation is at the core of her creative ethos, and she is never far away from a sketchbook full of questionable ideas. Her art school education in architecture makes up the backbone of her work and she implements much of her learnings into her practice. Over the past year she has grown a small business selling prints and wares which she hopes to continue expanding.
