Luella's work explores landscapes and skylines, usually in the Sussex countryside and coastal areas using the mediums of solar etching and oil painting. These images come from observing and visiting the same places many times. 

The solar etchings are all hand-made limited editions printed by the artist.
Solar etching differs from traditional etching in that the plate is made using sunlight (or UV lamp) and tap water, making it a non-toxic process which avoids hazardous chemicals. The plate is then inked up "intaglio" and printed by hand in exactly the same way as a traditional etching, using an etching press. 

Luella's etchings are often printed over the edge of the paper with no border and sometimes ink is brushed or rolled on to the plate or the paper is painted before printing.
