I'm passionate about printmaking! The pleasure of lifting the paper to reveal the image, both during and at the final stage of a piece is exciting and so addictive.

Possibilities are endless...methods and materials can be explored forever it seems.

I am hugely interested in the less formal or less traditional approach; painterly effects can be achieved through careful consideration of colours, layers and compositional balance. Many of my prints therefore are one-off unique pieces created whilst following processes from an initial starting point.

Ways of seeing and expressing the environment and the subject are a constant inspiration. I live in West Yorkshire and work in my studio at home. The local countryside, landscapes, walks, wildlife, gardens, even a single flower or leaf can be rich sources of ideas. Sometimes prints are more abstract in nature as a result of an imagined or re-invented detail or idea. It's always fun!
