​The main focus of my practice is exploring the various technical possibilities within printmaking by pushing to the limit what can be done. Lately I have been utilising the properties of paper itself as 'object' combining the illusion of the fleeting moment with the
durability of the material. The landscape with it's human interventions and attempts at control are the starting points for my work.

Currently my work is exploring ideas around time; measuring time and perhaps containing time within layered sheets of tissue and heavy printmaking papers. Printmaking and the possibility of the repeat is what endlessly interests me not to make editions but to build something more akin to object. My environment and my place within it provides the subject, not a literal translation but a response to place. 

Since graduating with an MA in printmaking I have shown my work in solo and group exhibitions in the UK and Europe and have been employed as printmaking technician and principal learning officer at Cheltenham art collage and Leeds metropolitan university as well as visiting lecturer at various colleges and universities. I have been running printmaking workshops at different levels since arriving in the forest including with adults with learning difficulties at Artspace Cinderford and individual tuition and small group workshops in my own studio.
