An acclaimed printmaker's stunning new etchings inspired by real-life coastal walks are to be unveiled for the first time in Harrogate.

Seven prints created from the etchings, some 1 x1.5 metres in size, will be premiered at the Watermark Gallery between April 12 and 27.

From the towering, seabird-shrouded cliffs at Bempton to the expansive sandy beach at Filey, artist Jason Hicklin’s walks have inspired a collection of etchings that provide a dramatic new vision of Yorkshire’s heritage coast.

Jason studied under the renowned Yorkshire printmaker, Norman Ackroyd, RA, at St Martins College of Art in London before a taking a post-graduate course in etching at the Central School of Art in Holborn.
