<p>Luminita (lu-min-it-sa) comes from the Romanian for "little light".&nbsp; It&rsquo;s an appropriate name for a short artist, making small prints about the little, everyday joys that amuse us who happened to marry a Romanian.&nbsp; I share my home in Braunston with the woodpeckers, badgers and foxes that visit from the neighbouring pocket pack, in Northamptonshire.</p>
<p>Working in linocut, my designs develop from my interest in local, native wildlife and our relationship with it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I enjoy making works in a series using a limited colour palette and &nbsp;exploring the poetic in the everyday.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I feel a strong empathy with creative work which explores the social outsider.&nbsp; We all have our tribe, it may be small but can be mighty!</p>
<p>My work is made on my kitchen table in Braunston, by the grand union canal.</p>
