I am
a printmaker based close to the Suffolk coast and it is this area
that is a constant source of fascination and inspiration to me.
My work tells a story of the world
around me...crumbling cliffs and a relentless sea, fishing boats and
tumble down huts, a bittern hidden in reeds or hares darting across
fields. I like to compose an image consisting of elements of a
location rather than an exact replica, to convey the atmosphere and
narrative of a place .
I am essentially self taught and have
become obsessed by the incidental and textural nature of printmaking
to the extent that I now work entirely with collagraph or drypoint
blocks from a very small garden studio with a very large etching
press !
All the pieces are hand
finished once the main print has been produced which means that they
are all slightly different even though the image is constant. I
produce an edition of 25 with approximately 3 artists' proofs.
