Felix Packer
Woodcut | Lino Print
Working from his Falmouth studio, Felix specialises in wood and lino cuts but also works with other media including wood carving and sculpture.
Born in Islington, London 1966, he fell in love with Cornwall 19 years later and has continued the romance ever since. The sea is in the family bones.
Examples of his work include
He studied for two years at Ipswich School of Art, then made the move to Falmouth School of Art and bought a fifty-foot French trawler on which to live while studying Fine Art. At this time, he fell in with a bunch of boatbuilders where woodwork and printmaking found a natural journey to making woodcut prints and this has developed ever since.
He is inspired by the environment around him, in particular the Cornish landscape and the sea. Sailing, sea-swimming, gardening and the natural world all feed into inspiration for his woodcuts.
