Biography
I am influenced by British printmaking and graphic art from the early and mid 20th Century. I like the subtlety of much of the art of this period, which is both humorous and surreal.
Screenprint is essentially a stencil process, and produces thin layers of flat translucent layers of colour. My screen prints are made using a mixture of traditional and digital mark making processes, to create the separate layers that will be overlaid in the finished print. The layers are then transferred using a photochemical process to a screen (a fine mesh stretched over a frame) and printed by hand, using a squeegee to push ink through the mesh onto paper.
