I am inspired by countryside walks and the changes in weather and season upon the landscape. I translate my scenic discoveries into colourful linocuts using the reduction method. This involves repeatedly cutting and printing from the same block of lino in order to layer up an image. The whole edition of prints must be created together as the block is destroyed in the process.

Themes for my work include woodlands and trees, water and reflections and flowers and more recently a trip to Japan. My work is impressionistic in style; I aim for colour, contrast, depth and detail.

I work from a simple printmaking studio I created at my home in Oxfordshire, where I also teach lino privately. I regularly run larger linocutting workshops at other local venues too. I am a founder member of the Buckinghamshire Craft Guild and my linocuts have been displayed at the Royal Academy, the Bankside Gallery and Mall Galleries in London.

I have been focussed solely on printmaking since 2012, although more recently I have enjoyed returning to painting. I anticipate that I will continue to practise both the printmaking and the painting in tandem for a while, to see where it takes me.
