Biography

“I like to experiment with different processes and I work intuitively treating printmaking more like a painting processThis often involves  “in the moment” response to mark-making and use of colour. I am interested in developing a lively, animated surfaceI strive to provide atmosphere and presence. The work often reflects an interest in partially hidden forms, worn surfaces, marks made by human activity as well as natural forms.” 

“Printmaking offers a different way of working to painting, but both processes feed off one another.  I particularly enjoy the whole technical side of printmaking and experimentation with both photographic and hands-on processes. I often work in monoprint or in variations rather than editions. I love learning new processes and have the aim of combining different print processes in single images in the future."
