I am inspired by countryside walks and the changes in weather and season upon the landscape and enjoy translating these scenic discoveries into colourful linocuts. Themes for my work include trees, water and flowers and more recently a trip to Japan. My work is impressionistic in style; I’m interested in colour, light, depth and detail. Most of my prints are reduction linocuts which are relief prints formed with layers of colour which are cut and printed from the same block of lino, destroying the block in the process. I create a small, limited edition of every work, as each piece is created by hand, small variations make each one original.
I’ve been a full-time printmaker since 2012 when I moved to Bicester and created a simple printmaking studio at home so that I could develop my skills to the highest standards. I am a best seller on the Artfinder online marketplace and my linocuts have been displayed at the Royal Academy, the Bankside Gallery and Mall Galleries in London. My work sells to collectors across the UK and internationally.
I teach group lino cutting workshops at the Phoenix Studio in Towersey and other venues. Check my website for upcoming courses for adults at Stowe School.
