Tropical Swim – Limited Edition Screen Print

Maxine Gregson is a London-based screen printer known for layering typography, grid structures and architectural line work over landscape and photographic imagery. Her prints sit somewhere between memory and design — sun-bleached motels, empty desert roads, lakeside swims and mid-century interiors reworked with a contemporary, graphic eye. By pairing retro reference points with present-day visual language, she builds scenes that feel familiar yet slightly displaced, as though pulled from a holiday that never quite happened.

Before turning to printmaking full-time, Gregson spent two decades as a commercial graphic designer, beginning her career at AMX Digital, one of the UK’s earliest digital agencies. That design background still informs her practice, visible in the precise grids and layered type that anchor each composition. Every edition is hand-printed using the CMYK process from her own London studio.

Her work has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, shown at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, and included in the Tate Modern’s Derek Jarman Open Call. She has also been featured in The Guardian and Observer Magazine. Often described as “Nostalgic Futurism,” her prints continue to draw collectors who are pulled toward their mix of vintage warmth and modern structure.
