I enjoy sketching, photography and painting but I am primarily a linocut printmaker. My work reflects my love of nature. I take inspiration from walking on the hills, holidays and observing the world around me. I am interested in the overall composition of my work and like to achieve a pleasing balance of cut and uncut areas. I produce monochrome and coloured multi-block and reduction prints. Reduction means I use just one block, cutting away after I have printed each layer. When it's finished, there's little of the original lino left.The lino is hand inked and then printed either by burnishing (with a spoon or baren) or putting in a book or etching press.I cut my images out from lino.
I have a small, garden studio and during Open Studios, open part of my little cottage as a gallery.
My work has been exhibited at : Number 8 Gallery Pershore ; Take 4 Gallery Ledbury; and Bridgnorth Open House Art Trail; to name a few.
I have illustrated several books and pamphlets in collaboration with Letterpress Printmaker Andrew Judd including "The Moneths" by Nicholas Breton and "Household Poems" by Edward Thomas (Belmont Hall Press).
I run Beginners Printmaking courses for individuals and limited small groups and open my studio by arrangement outside Open Studios.
