Foundation Diploma in Art & Design - Worcester Technical College
BA (Hons) in Fine Art Printmaking - University College Falmouth

I specialise in Intaglio Printmaking with variations in Etching, Aquatint, Dry Point, Collograph and Monoprint, Monotype & Lino cut. I find that pushing the boundaries of this ancient art form to create contemporary works of art and realise at least some of the possibilities of this evocative medium is totally fascinating and thought provoking.

Collogragh, Chine-Colle, Mixed Media/Etching and Monoprint

It has been a life long passion and love of art, influenced by the world around me. My work expresses both the joys and the frustrations of the creative process, it constantly engages me and I am thrilled by the whole process of Printmaking, from the smell of the inks to the excitement of pulling the first proof from the press.
