A small edition of 'Girl on Swing' in blue black. An etching of the artist's daughter with her head in a book. The image is redrawn onto a grounded zinc plate which is then etched or 'bitten' when placed in acid. Ink is then applied, worked into the grooves, wiped off and left on in some areas to create subtle tone. This painterly inking process is repeated for every number in the small edition which is then handprinted using a press. .

Rebecca Denton, painter and printmaker, has original artworks for sale with Wychwood Art in their art gallery and online. With over two decades of creating, Rebecca Denton works from her sketches and imagination to create original prints in her North London studio. Her aquatints are often whimsical, featuring imagined characters in imaginary landscapes and her narrative etchings are playful, sometimes with a serious context but always hopeful and life-affirming. I love it when people connect with the work; perhaps it triggers a childhood memory or allows them to dream of a better world or just dream... Rebecca also creates unique one-off prints; moments of beauty where the soul of the place can be felt.
