I am an artist printmaker currently living in Sheffield. I get my inspiration from the natural environment. I travel around the countryside painting watercolour landscapes en plein aire.

Once home I convert these sketches into collagraph plates - a base usually of card, cut and torn with a range of textures added such as carborandum (sand), tiling cement, wallpaper and moss. I also use acrylic media to provide highlights. I sometimes combine collagraph plates with drypoint plates.

I ink up a la poupee using the colours from my watercolour sketches. I often roll over the images with more colours (viscosity printing) to create more subtlety. The resulting images are both colourful and textural, although textures do not show up well on computer images. I print variable limited editions of around 10. I have prints of Scotland where I used to live, the Peak District and Cornwall where some of my family live.
