About

Printmaking has always fascinated me but it wasn't until I tried it for myself that I could really understand how it works. Peter Wray & Judy Collins introduced me to the basics of etching and collagraph printmaking techniques at their HandPrint Studio & I was totally hooked. As well as giving me a brilliant start in my printmaking career they also provided the encouragement I needed to start exhibiting my work. Membership of East Riding Artists & other local creative networks and artist friends provides valuable support and encouragement for my creative journey.

As a natural development of my printmaking I have expanded my creative practice into mixed media and find lots of inspiration from the landscape, both local & further afield, along with the patterns, textures, shapes and colours observed in daily life.
Exploring the impact of human activity on the landscape & natural environment is a big part of my creative life and through my art I hope not only to celebrate the beauty of this world but also to explore the challenges facing humanity as we learn a new respect for all of creation and find sustainable & regenerative ways of living.
I currently support two charities through sales of my artwork - TreeSisters and SASH. 20% of my art sales income is divided equally between the two charities unless otherwise stated.
