I am an artist/designer living and working in London, UK. I am displaying some of my artwork here which dates from 1980 to the present day. I have also reproduced four of my paintings as greetings cards which are for sale and can be bought here. My work is on display at the Saatchi gallery and is available for sale at Folksy where my shop is called LeaValley. I am available for commissions and you can email me by following the link below. I also write a regular blog which you can read here.
I have been using the name ‘Plantin’ as part of my email address for a number of years and now it is the domain name for this website. For those of you who have been wondering ‘what Plantin means’ here is a brief explanation.
Christoffel Plantin (1520-1589), after whom the typeface Plantin is named, was a Flemish printer and humanist who lived and worked in Antwerp. Plantin was responsible for printing, amongst other things, the famous Biblia Polyglotta (Bible in five languages). I recommend the Plantin-Moretus Museum for more information.
