Living in northeast Scotland close to the Cairngorm mountains and the Moray Firth coastline, Angie Lewin's work is inspired by a love of these contrasting landscapes and their native flora, where she walks, sketches and gathers her reference material. Angie previously lived for many years on the North Norfolk coast, a place she returns to frequently and which continues to be portrayed in prints and watercolours.

Saltmarsh Storm III is a three-colour print, one of a series, depicting the wintery, bleakly beautiful North Norfolk coastline, with the yellow and blue blocks cut in lino and the black block engraved in end-grain lemonwood.

Angie studied Fine Art at Central School of Art and Design, followed by a year's post-graduate printmaking at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. In 2005, she co-founded St Jude's, producing fabrics and wallpapers designed by herself and other artists. She has worked on illustration commissions for publishers, including Penguin and Faber and Faber, and has designed fabrics for Liberty, London. Publications featuring her work include: Angie Lewin, Plants and Places (Merrell 2010), The Book of Pebbles (Thames and Hudson 2019), and The Book of Wild Flowers (Thames and Hudson 2024). In 2023, she collaborated with Edinburgh's Dovecot Studios on a haute-lisse tapestry based on her wood engraving Teabowl and Bracken.
She has work in public and private collections in the UK and overseas, including the Ashmolean, the V&A, the London Institute and the Pallant House Gallery, Chichester.
