I’m Alexandra Snowdon, a hand lettering artist, illustrator and printmaker. I make and sell hand lettered prints and cards from my home studio in Edinburgh, UK. I mainly use pen and ink and linocut prints to produce my designs. I love the handmade textures that printmaking and pen and ink create. 

Originally from Manchester, I came to Edinburgh to celebrate my 50th birthday a couple of years ago, fell in love with the city and moved up here seven months later.

I love the culture, the architecture, the beaches and countryside and the friendly people.
