Gerry discovered and fell in love with printmaking after visiting an exhibition of relief prints in 2012. She works solely in linocut enjoying the mindfullness of mark-making and rigorous process of printmaking, most often using the reduction technique to produce multi-layered multi-coloured prints. Her work typically depicts her fondness for British wildlife; birds, flowers, countryside and above all, colour.
She is a member of Oxford Art Society. Gerry teaches Linocut workshops at her home studio in South Oxfordshire. She also sells online in the UK and internationally.
Her work has featured in local and national magazines. Her linocut print “Clarinet: lines and spaces” was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 2024.

Oxfordshire Introduction to Linocut One Day Workshop
"I've always loved artwork produced by lino printing and booked this course to learn how the prints can be made. Gerry explained everything very clearly and patiently, stepping and supporting us through the techniques. At the end I was very pleased with the prints I made and all of us on the course had produced lovely pieces of work.
Thank you, Gerry - I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it. "
Gerry Coles Prints responded:
"Thank you for leaving a lovely review for me Diana. I loved seeing the beautiful print you produced."
"The course was very interesting and enjoyable.
Gerry’s teaching was clear and effective. Techniques were introduced to the whole group, and participants were also given individual instruction so they were able to learn and express themselves creatively at their own pace.
Very good quality equipment and materials were provided. The studio was a very pleasant place to work.
I highly recommend this course."

"I had a splendid day. Gerry was an excellent tutor and very generous with her time. The class group always has a small limited number so the student/tutor ratio is great.
I was delighted with my final outcomes and I will definitely be finding some space on the wall in the lounge to display my print!"
Gerry Coles Prints responded:
"Thank you for the kind review Georgie!
The prints and cards you produced were really lovely and I hope you display your print and send your cards with pride 😀
Best wishes
Gerry"
