I have always been fascinated by texture, pattern and colour. This interest
drew me to study Textile Design as a mature student at Central St Martins
Art College where I obtained a BA (Hons).
As a printmaker, texture, pattern and colour continue to play a large part in
my practice. I use a variety of techniques, including screen printing, linocut,
etching (which is quite new to me), linocut, woodcut, monotype and digital
printmaking.  Sometimes I combine techniques to create unique and
original art prints and to satisfy my love of experimentation.  I am also a
keen Amateur Photographer and my photos very much influence my work
and subsequent design development.
The unique aspect of my printmaking is that it is intuitive.  I often start with
no clear endpoint in mind. By following ideas, I am frequently led to results
that are even more exciting than expected.
