Work

Lewin is inspired by the hilltops and saltmarshes of the North Norfolk coast, and the Scottish Highlands. She depicts these contrasting environments and their native flora in wood engraving, linocut, silkscreen, lithography and collage.[1][4] Lewin states that she has been influenced by the artist Edward Bawden.[5]
As well as designing fabrics, wallpapers and stationery for the company she runs with her husband Simon, Lewin has completed commissions for Penguin, Conran Octopus and Picador. She has designed fabrics for Liberty's Autumn Winter 2010 collection, including the Winter Stem design used for Liberty's 2011 Comic Relief Shopper Bag.[6]
Lewin has exhibited widely across Britain since 1986,[7] including at the City Art Centre, Edinburgh,[8] and at the Willis Museum and Sainsbury Gallery, Basingstoke.[5]
