About me

I am an artist and printmaker living and working in rural North Devon. I create multi-layered linocuts, which are largely inspired by my love of the outdoors and relationship with the natural world. My work often looks at the connection between memory and place, exploring feelings of nostalgia and a sense of belonging. I have a deep interest in the environment and the role we play in shaping our surroundings. 

 

I use traditional printmaking techniques and tools, and I constantly strive for the highest possible level of craftsmanship. I predominantly use the reduction printing process to build up layers of colour, alongside an intricate mark-making style that is informed by my preliminary pen and pencil studies. I tend to be drawn towards a subtle and limited colour palette that evokes a sense of reflection, composure and remembrance. 

Prior to setting up as a printmaker, I studied Architecture and worked for an engineering firm. This training provided me with strong design and creative principles, which now inform my current work and printmaking process. Relief printing, and in particular the reduction printing process, appeals to both the logical and the creative sides of my personality.
