Details
Currently I am focussing on printmaking, I work in a spontaneous way, sketching landscape in situ. I focus on time and weather and how we relate to the world around us with a particular interest in ancient landscape. Back in the studio my sketches are the starting point. I allow myself to be led by the printmaking process and my imagination, until I create a mood and atmosphere that I am happy with. I enjoy never quite knowing how it will come out of the press and make the most of the accidental element of printmaking.
For me, being an artist is about sharing and communicating a response to my surroundings. Creating a mood, a feeling about a place and connecting in some way with whoever views the work.
I am a printmaker and painter, specialising in landscape.
I work outside and in my own home studio. I have been an active member of the art community in Cornwall and am now making connections here in Herefordshire. I have run workshops as well as selling work in local art galleries. I was also a member of a collective of artists sharing the running of a small gallery in Penryn. Since moving to Herefordshire, I have found printmaking groups to join in Malvern and Stroud as well as taking part in local exhibitions and events.
