Martin Truefitt Baker 2025 Calendar

Martin Truefitt-Baker is a fine art printmaker and painter living in the Brecon Beacons national park, South Wales, UK. His linocuts use a reduction method, printing from a single piece of lino. This is progressively cut away and overprinted onto paper several times, in a succession of tones, to build up the final image. The prints are of the animals he has seen on his walks through the local landscape, mostly within just a couple of miles of his home. Martin always tries to catch some of the magic in the way the animal moves and lives within its environment. The beautiful Usk valley, rough mountainsides, twisted trees, wild flowers and busy insects fill the backgrounds of his prints. This wall calendar features graceful owls, foxes, badgers, otters and more. Insightful text form the artist himself accompanies each work and the datepad features previous and next month’s views. Printed on FSC-certified paper, with plastic-free packaging.
