Kim Major-George is a British artist and printmaker. She is greatly influence by mythology, philosophy, Ancient civilizations, and spiritual imagery. She has taught classes, and has also made appearances in books, cards, magazines, and many commisions. She also has a short film out called "Where are we going".
Her print, Ancient Memories, looks very detailed, and textured. If you look closely, it would appear as though whatever objects she used to make this were very tiny and had many creases and had it's own pattern on it. Objects appear to have been overlapped as well, creating a depth in the paper this piece was printed on. It also appears to have a patterned halo around it, like the objects used to make this could have possibly been of a bigger size, but was cut out. Though it leaves an etherial like glow to the piece, which has it's own dotted texture. There is also the matter of the colour palette Major-George uses. Where darker colours have taken a hold of the objects and show up more clearly, you cannot see as much of the texture as you can on the lighter coloured areas.
