Most of my work features images from the natural world – landscape and organic forms. I have travelled widely and enjoy walking and gardening, all of which give me ideas for my prints. I tend to work in monochrome and produce work which has bold contrast in tone, texture and form.

Printmaking has always appealed as it allows the production of both experimental and more figurative images. I enjoy the serendipity element in the creative process and find I can play within the constraints of the medium. I focus on etching, aquatint, dry point and mixed- media techniques.

I have exhibited widely in the north in a number of venues including: the Harley, Welbeck; The Ferens, Hull ; Ropewalk, Barton on Humber; Buxton Art Gallery; Green Door Studio, Derby; The Art House and Millenium Gallery, Sheffield.

In 2012 I organised “WaterPrint”, an exhibition of prints to raise the profile of printmaking in Sheffield. (Profits to WaterAid). From this seed Sheffield Printmakers group grew and I became a founder member.

Through membership of Sheffield Visual Arts Group I campaign for recognition of public participation in the arts and improved access to galleries and art education for all.

I am an experimental interdisciplinary artist printmaker photographer, whose reflective work is inspired by places visited and photographed. Circles moons suns trees mountains oceans and the written word, especially poetry and lyrics, evoke certain memories thoughts and feelings.

I express these and the essential elements of a place or time in my art. I also create art that expresses a response to contemporary issues. I am drawn to the colour blue.

I make limited edition and one-off prints and sometimes incorporate them in mixed media art often collaging organic material or my own photographs. I move between different techniques to achieve the result I am hoping for.  Presently I am exploring woodcut linocut and lino etch, direct mono prints onto canvas and collograph. I  also have prints made using drypoint etching and chine colle.

I hoard paper and print onto various types: handmade Japanese traditional and my own hand made paper.

Visual art in middle life included an Access course in Art and Design at Chesterfield College of Art, where amongst other disciplines I first explored printmaking.  Art is now my passion.
