Since retiring from teaching Science, I have taken up printmaking and have spent a few years working at Peter York’s workshop exploring colour and shape. On the whole I have been using the intaglio technique with dry-point card to produce a variety of abstract prints. Given my scientific background, many of these prints have been based on biological themes. E.g. mycelium, cell structure and crystalisation. Recently while still keeping an abstract and impressionistic feel, I have been exploring ways of producing prints about more immediately recognisable subjects. My inspiration for these comes from my interest in walking in the countryside. My prints of coastal, agricultural and mountainous scenes are examples of this.
Recently, in 2023, I have begun to learn linoprinting.
