I am a self‑taught printmaker specialising in reduction lino printing, creating each piece entirely by hand.  I work primarily with Japanese vinyl lino and traditional hessian‑backed lino.   I take direct inspiration for my work from my photographs. 

 

I am both intrigued by vast natural landscapes to urban cities scenes.  I am drawn to the contrast between dramatic vistas and every day city settings.  My aim is to capture an honest portrayal of what I see, I want the viewer to be taken away and imagine themselves in one of my scenes.

​

I am fascinated by the process of drawing, carving, inking, then printing to build up and create my art.  It is an intricate process which takes time and precision to make sure that each layer lines up perfectly with the one beneath it.  While the process carries an element of risk, I find it meditative  and deeply satisfying when a print is complete.
