Dehlia Barnard-Edmunds: Printmaker

“Inspired by my surroundings, nature, vintage vessels, gardens and the quirks of allotment life.“

Market Deeping based artist and printmaker Dehlia Barnard-Edmunds

Dehlia is exhibiting at our Escape the Ordinary Exhibition at Stamford Arts Centre Gallery: 28 October – 8 November 2025

“I am lucky enough to spend my time almost equally between two wildly different and inspiring counties: Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, where I take what excites and interests me and turn them into linocut prints.“

Dehlia Barnard-Edmunds is a printmaker/creative exploring the diverse and exciting world of print.

Dehlia has always loved print, especially poster art and having dabbled with printmaking during her time as a textile artist, Dehlia rekindled her interest a few years ago.

Working primarily from her home studio ie the dining room and since 2020, Dehlia has built a portfolio of works inspired by her collection of vintage vessels, her travels, gardens, the quirks of allotment life and rural scenes in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire too, where she spends much of her life. Ask her about any of her prints and she will tell you the tale that inspired her to create it.

Dehlia has exhibited and sold her work at various venues across the country, but also enjoys opening her studio to the public with Peterborough Artists Open Studios.

As a member of Leicester Print Workshop, Dehlia has extended her practice to include screen printing and etching.

Dry point etching, mono printing and collage are some of the methods Dehlia is currently exploring, and is excited to be working her designs onto textiles too.

An experienced teacher, Dehlia runs workshops in various printmaking methods.
