I am a Bristol-based printmaker.
I was born in Derbyshire and after completing a photography degree at Nottingham Trent University went on to study an MA in Interactive Multimedia at Bath Spa University where I began to explore the use of digital drawing. All contour lines in my work are hand drawn digitally before printing or being transferred to the screen printing frame.
Although my work began by studying man-made forms within the landscape I am now primarily inspired by natural contours and the formation of land and water, using maps as a starting point of reference. My work is a celebration of nature’s raw and delicate beauty.
All of my screen prints are unique, one-off experimental pieces.
My limited edition giclee fine art prints are produced using pigment based inks and printed on to handmade St Cuthberts Mill 100% cotton paper.
My drypoints are all printed on to St Cuthbert's Mill Somerset printmaking paper using Intaglio printmaker inks.
