I create monotypes and monoprints using acrylic on paper and work quickly, always with a firm idea of what I want to produce, but I prefer not to plan an image in advance. I like the exhilaration of producing work in such a necessarily imprecise way and always welcome the resulting surprises and discoveries. I’m exploring, and expressing remembered feelings and experiences, rather than the immediate world around me.
I lived very close to the North Devon coast for four years and in Valencia for two years before that, and both the sea and the flamboyant, energetic colours of Valencia appear in my work. At the moment, I live in the North East and have also produced newer, more muted forms connected to woodland walks and the huge skies of County Durham.
