Artwork description:

Sunbeam Forest captures that magical moment when sunlight breaks through the canopy, filling the woodland with a golden glow. The strong rays of light cut through the cool shadows, creating a striking contrast between brightness and shade.

This piece reflects my love of trees and the peace they bring. I wanted to recreate the feeling of standing quietly among them, watching the light dance across the leaves and the forest floor. There’s a sense of stillness here, yet also a gentle energy in the shifting patterns of light.

Through Sunbeam Forest, I hope to share the beauty of those fleeting moments in nature that make us pause and breathe a little deeper.


A reduction Lino print is made by using the same piece of Lino to print all the colours. Each time a layer is printed then more of the surface of the Lino is removed, reducing the surface area. Each me you put a layer of ink on the Lino and print it, the Lino must come into contact with the paper at the same place, otherwise the picture does not align and will not be usable. Reduction lino printing requires careful planning and precision, as mistakes cannot be easily corrected once a layer of ink has been applied. It is a time-consuming process, but the end result can be a beautiful, vibrant and layered print. I start off intending to make 10 images and usually end up with 7 or 8, but it can be less.
