Printmaker | Collagraph, Lino-cut & Mono Printing

​

Evelyn Polk is a Bury St Edmunds–based printmaker whose work explores ideas of place, material, and memory through experimental printmaking techniques. A graduate of the Cambridge School of Art in Fine Art and Printmaking, Evelyn began her career in education before dedicating herself full-time to her artistic practice from her own studio in Suffolk.

​

Her work is centred around the found object, often referencing excavation, land, and the traces left behind. Acting as a visual mediator, Evelyn selects and re-presents fragments and forms that invite reflection on the connections between people, place, and time. Her process embraces multiple printmaking methods — from collagraph and lino-cut to monoprinting — resulting in richly layered compositions that push the boundaries of traditional printmaking.

​

Evelyn first exhibited at Mill Tye Gallery in 2024 as part of the 12PM (Twelve Printmakers exhibition, and her work has since become a favourite with visitors and collectors alike. Her collagraph prints have been a consistent success in the gallery over the past four years, and she continues to exhibit regularly as part of our seasonal printmaker exhibitions.
