Maureen Prichard

Maureen Prichard is an artist, illustrator, lettering artist, writer and sometime art educator. Her practice is heavily informed by her research interests in mediaeval manuscripts and the design and illustration of private press books from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As a result her oeuvre centres on book illustration and decoration, and investigations into the image-text relationship in which hand lettering plays an important role. She has illustrated and designed over fifty books and book jackets for numerous Australian publishers.
