My Journey so far...

I am a fulltime printmaker, specialising in linocut relief printmaking; colour reduction.

Colour reduction linocut printing is a technique where each colour layer in a print is carved into the same lino block.  After each layer is printed, more of the block is removed, reducing it progressively. This means you can't go back and re-print if you make a mistake, as the block is permanently changed.

I spend time observing and exploring landscapes, taking photographs and sketching as aide memoirs for my studio processes.

I use line, colour and contrast to define my work, I am intrigued by how we are affected by a variety of places and spaces, and I'm drawn to a variety of situations that explore our reactions and feelings.  My linocut prints explore stillness, memory and place. Each hand carved piece invites reflection through simplified forms and subtle tonal shifts.

I have a beautiful studio and can provide 1:1 workshops, alternatively I can also facilitate larger groups at a different creative space.

With every sold print I include a Certificate of Authenticity, and carefully pack using non-plastic packaging, and swift delivery!

*All work is priced as Unframed, if you would like a framed print I will have to quote you the final price separately, and this will be courier delivered within the UK mainland.
