About
I am a print-maker and pastellist. The pieces I create are a direct response to that compulsion I feel when I hit upon a scene – a compulsion to capture it. The majority of my prints are limited editions on paper using the reduction method of lino cutting; occasionally I interpret finer images using dry-point etching. In addition I create unique fabric prints on linen with block-printing. Working with dry pastels affords me a freedom from the precision of reduction printing – I apply pastel ground to mound board, refer to in-situ sketches and apply pastel in a freer style.
In 2015 I founded and developed Worcestershire Open Studios, from which point I began selling my work and delivering printing workshops. Since that time my work has been:
- exhibited at The Pure Art Gallery, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire
- exhibited at three Royal Birmingham Society of Artist’s Open Exhibitions
- selected as 2019 finalist in the Artists and Illustrators Magazine’s Artist of the Year Competition for which my work was –
- exhibited at the Mall Galleries, London
- shown as a solo exhibition at Number 8 in Pershore
- exhibited at Bevere Gallery, Worcestershire; Obsidean Art, Buckinghamshire
- featured in the Seacourt International Mini-Print exhibition and the Impress ’16 international exhibition
- pre-selected twice for the Royal Society of Marine Artists exhibition
- sold to purchasers in New Zealand and New York
