The work of printmaker Mike Smith will be featured in the next exhibition at Settle’s Gallery on the Green.

A member of the West Yorkshire Print Workshop, Mike works through the medium of lino block printing to produce a range of prints of birds, people, places, buildings and scenery.

His images are based on his own drawings or photographs and he has selected a representative set to show in the phone box art gallery from Monday to April 26.

Since opening in 2009, the gallery has mounted a series of constantly changing exhibitions featuring contributions from local, national, and international artists.

Based in Leeds, Mike has developed his printmaking technique over many years, usually working in small editions to more effectively exploit the potential of his chosen medium.

He enjoys both the technical and artistic challenges and confesses that some subjects are chosen purely for the challenge they present for interpretation into linoprint form.

He is currently exhibiting in the gallery at Batley Library as a member of the Dewsbury Arts Group and is preparing for a major printmaking exhibition in April at the Sunnybank Mill Gallery in Farsley.
