A few years later Aine undertook European Fine Art Painting, to Masters level at Winchester School of Art, in Barcelona, Spain. It was during this time that she encountered/experienced the possibilities of printmaking and thereafter undertook independent studies in a range of printmaking techniques and completed this research by undertaking another Masters degree in Printmaking at Wimbledon College of Arts, University of the Arts, London, finishing in 2000.
