'Sophie Charalambous would not immediately define herself as a ‘printmaker’. Over the last few years she has built a reputation for distinctive draughtsmanship in her drawings and watercolour paintings, which led her to win the Sunday Times Watercolour Prize in 2019. Yet this year she was awarded the prestigious 2020 Jerwood Printmaking Today Prize for one of her first prints: Comings and Goings, 2019.'
