I am an artist and printmaker living in the beautiful harbour town of Watchet nestled on the North West Somerset coast. After a career that included art projects for the youth service and a stint as the Youth Arts Co-Ordinator for South West Surrey, illustrating for a national magazine, and several years as a freelance graphic designer, I finally discovered printmaking in 2017.
When I found printmaking something clicked, this was the artistic discipline I had been searching for all those years. It combines a carving element, a drawing and painting element, continual problem solving and requires precision amongst the chaos. The thrill of pulling a print never seems to get old.
I am hugely drawn to nature, as so many of us are. Time in relation to nature has become a recurring theme in my work as has the relationship between us and our natural surroundings.
