Maggie Dawson - Artist Printmaker

Hi I’m Maggie. 

Welcome to my portfolio of fine art prints. I love printmaking and reduction lino prints have become a favourite technique with small editions.

All of my prints are made using a matrix which I have created. It is then inked and pressed to paper to transfer the image. The prints you see here are all original and made by me in my studio.

I live in Taupo, 360m above sea level on the northern shore of Lake Taupo, overlooked by Mt Tauhara, an extinct volcano. Lake Taupo was formed by the collapse of a volcano, creating a caldera which gradually filled to form the lake. 

When I interviewed in London before coming to NZ in 1975 I was asked where I would like to live. I didn't know anyone in NZ but from somewhere deep inside I heard myself say “near the volcanoes and not too far from the sea”.  That conversation came back to me many years later after moving to Taupo in 1987.  While I was working on ideas for an exhibition entitled ‘My Place’  my words came back to me after many moons in the subconscious.
