I am an artist and printmaker. I specialise in relief printmaking in lino and wood, working primarily in colour. I like to experiment with different methods of adding colour to prints, blurring the lines between printmaking and painting, whilst retaining the discipline of editioning.
I make my work about quiet, wild places and the effects of light and pattern.
I travel to Wales and Scotland regualrly, staying in out of the way places in an old camper van. I spend the time making sketches and taking photographs which I translate into prints in my studio in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
I am an artist and printmaker working from my studio in Stroud, Gloucestershire. I exhibit widely throughout the UK and beyond and have collorated on and run a number of public art projects over the past few years. I support my practice with teaching locally and countrywide, the most northerly class being iat Yell in Shetland.
I have degrees in Fine Art and Creative Practices, from UWE and Stroud respectively. I was recently artist in residence at WWT Slimbridge and will be artist in residence at Oriel y Parc studio in St Davids Pembrokeshire later this year. I was selected for inclusion in the inaugural Masters of Relief Print exhibition at the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers Bankside gallery.
I have organised and delivered public art projects, including giant lino prints, for Westonbirt Arboretum, Batsford Arboretum and Gloucester Culture Trust.
