Barry Cottrell

Born: 1953, UK, England, Bristol

Printmaker and writer. Studied Psychology and Philosophy at Oxford University before retraining as an artist at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art. Cottrell is one of a handful of artists in Britain today who works in burin engraving. His prints of birds, animals, figures and semi-abstract compositions are often engraved in an economical, flowing line. As a writer he is interested in shamanism, which he also practices, and published 'The Way Beyond the Shaman - Birthing a New Earth Consciousness' in 2008. His new project 'Totem Body' continues this theme in relation to artwork created whilst performing as a 'channel'
