Elaine Shemilt is an artist and researcher especially known as a fine art printmaker, although hers is not a conventional approach to the medium and her work ranges across a wide variety of media.
According to the art historian and theorist Alan Woods: "Her work initially focused on installation, the various printmaking media were used in an attempt to continue and develop the installations by other means.
If the event is inevitably lost, a new artwork is launched from it, and as themes and subjects occur and re-occur, their re-generation might usefully be imagined as located within an extended family of images."
