Morna has been a member of the Oxford Printmakers for over 30 years where she works with copper and the etching process. 

Being a printmaker has enabled her to share the amazing world she sees and draws, when walking in Welsh Mountains, Cornish Coast Paths or on Portmeadow in Oxford. Spending time drawing on mountains or by water allows her to absorb the atmosphere of the place, see much more with her own eyes rather than through the cameras lens, and care about the image that she creates.She often uses two or more plates to add colour contrasts and enhance the shadows.

The etching process has given her a structure, a way of using her drawings and paintings to create something exciting and new.
