About me
My practice often depicts landscapes and I sometimes include the encroachment of urbanity. It is the juxtaposition of these two themes that interest me, and form the basis of my work.
I am captivated by process – either by the layering of oil paint on canvas, or by ink and paper through relief printmaking.
My original hand-pulled prints focus on relief printmaking methods, primarily solarplate™. Chine collé, silver or gold leaf or watercolour pencils are often added after the print has been pulled on my hand-built press set within my Cambridge studio.
Originally trained in Furnishing Textiles and Interior Design, I completed the one year certificate course in advanced printmaking at the Curwen Print Study Centre and an MA in Printmaking at Anglia Ruskin University, with Distinction.
I am the lead panellist for the Bloomsbury art book series ‘The City Through the Eyes of its Artists‘, founded by Emma Bennett and a Specialist Artist Facilitator at Kettle’s Yard.
Private and Corporate Workshops
I teach oil painting, printmaking or bespoke creative classes at a variety of venues. I organise corporate workshops in linocut, drypoint or embossing printmaking. Please contact me directly for information.
My Cambridge Walkabout original Solarplate™ etchings can be purchased at Cambridge Contemporary Art, or from my website.
