I am a Derbyshire based printmaker, living in a small village that has always been my home. I have a small print room at the bottom of my garden which houses an hand built etching press lovingly made by my husband.

I fell in love with the printmaking process whilst studying Art @Design over 20 years ago, and continued to build up my knowledge through self learning, books and specialised courses. Whenever time and commitments allowed I would make prints.

Since giving up work to pursue my passion for printmaking I have exhibited and sold my work at fairs, art trails group exhibitions and galleries. I love what I do and being part of a creative community.

I am inspired by the everyday, textures, patterns, the way the light falls and the drama and shadows it creates. The stories and memories objects can evoke and my love of the printmaking process also inspire me. I don’t feel compelled to follow a strict path and can veer off if a subject interests or speaks to me.
