I studied Graphic Design at Harrow College of Art, and have since worked as a successful designer in publishing for clients including BBC books, Conran, and Harper Collins. I have always loved prints, and been fascinated by the technique. A drypoint evening class was the catalyst to my interest in printmaking, and after becoming freelance in 2003, I was able to attend a part-time workshop at Amersham College where I developed my printmaking skills.

My prints are inspired by my fascination with the textures and patterns found in both the natural and man-made landscape around us, as well as a sense of mystery about where things may lead and where they may have originated. I am drawn to exploring different subjects from the high roller-coasting hills of the Shropshire landscape to the dark alley ways of Marrakesh.

I enjoy the direct and rich mark making of the collagraph process, as well as the more precise methods of reduction lino-cut and etching, which probably reflect my graphics background. No matter how skilled you are the ‘happy accidents’ that occur in printmaking give the process a unique edge. Nothing can beat the thrill of peeling back the paper to reveal a new print!
