I had dabbled with lino printing for many years, mostly with the children in my various classes and to make Christmas cards, then in the late 90s I started an Adult Access to Art course at Sheffield college and had the opportunity to experience a wider range of processes. From then on I was hooked.

I continued printmaking as part of my HND and also at evening classes, whilst they still existed. Luckily, Peter York, who had been my tutor at Sheffield, started running workshops from his home and I have been working there ever since.

My work is varied using lino, collograph, dry-point, etching and, frequently, a combination of more than one. I mostly print on paper, but I also print on fabrics so that I can embellish them with stitch.

My subjects are also wide ranging including inspirations from holidays, architecture and folk images from many cultures.

My art works are reduction linoprints, each picture is handmade and unique. Colours are layered one at a time, onto paper from a lino plate. As each colour is added more is cut from the plate. I have to decide how many prints I wish to end up with before I begin, usually 6-10.

Most of my works reference landscape and place, particularly the Peak District where I have lived for many years. The process of making the print plate can be slow and painstaking yet, for me it allows contemplation, the memory of the landscape, its history and human use over time, its geology and geography, all come together within the print.

For Millennia Humans have always found special places in the lands that surround them. My works are therefore about special places that I visit, and a concern to know them and protect them.

I am a printmaker and painter based in Sheffield (& Edinburgh). My subject matter is based on natural forms and a sense of place – rocks, trees, the lie of the land – although my primary interest lies in pattern, abstraction and stylization. Currently I would describe my work as semi-abstract but with a longer-term aim of greater abstraction.

Although semi-abstract, my work is connected, with a sense of place – places that I visit frequently and have an emotional attachment to. I am particularly attracted to the edges of things whether literally as in the gritstone edges, the urban fringe or more obscurely the edges of life – elements that may be overlooked.

There is a close connection between my painting and printmaking. I often use prints, particularly intaglio types, as a basis for paintings and I use paintings as inspiration for printmaking. Much of my printmaking is painterly in style. I do however work in a variety of medium, often combining collage, ink oil and printmaking techniques. I have a small studio in Sheffield, have won various awards and exhibit regularly in the North of England and Scotland.

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.
