| Hester’s work is a combination of collagraph printmaking and relief methods. Texture and colour are important aspects of the final print and often the inking process ensures that no two prints are identical. |
 |
| She is inspired by the natural landscape, the plants and wildlife that inhabit it and the stories, myths and symbolism associated with them. Hester uses multiple plates and techniques to create layers of texture and this echoes the layers of meaning and metaphor in the images. |
|
| Poetry and the written word are often starting points for an idea and most recently her travels in Asia, Central and South America have provoked a new body of work exploring the ideas of migration, dislocation and orientation both mentally and physically. |
