Printmaking
Artist information
I am a printmaker primarily working with Lino and Dry Point Etching, though I also experiment with various other printmaking techniques.
The process of creating a print excites me, and I love the anticipation of not knowing exactly what will emerge from the press at the end. Printmaking, with its endless possibilities, continues to fascinate and inspire me, whether I am producing a simple, single-colour print, or working on a complex reduction with multiple layers. I also enjoy experimenting with different processes, like Chine Collé in my work. There is always something new to learn and I find inspiration in everything around me. Currently, I’m exploring reduction Lino with sea-inspired prints whilst also researching historical patterns and mark-making techniques from ceramics to ancient illuminated scripts.
Collaborating with Worcester Arts Collective allows me to pursue my passion for helping others access their own creative expression. Their focus on community and accessibility aligns perfectly with my belief that printmaking is a wonderful medium for inspiring and encouraging people in their own creative journeys.
