Printmaking primarily is process driven so results are not always quick. Discovery through painting has introduced me to monoprinting which I find can help in this area.It's a line of inquiry made through the use of simple gestural marks enabled by rag or brush. I've always liked to work in a variety of processes; this can be influenced by circumstances, where in my particular case the emphasis is on spontaneity. 'Nothing remains the same', ideas are always in a 'state of flux'. There is always the fear that an idea might disappear so you approach the work accordingly.
I've had a number of successes with my printmaking over the years, awards, a scholarship to the USA which helped me to further develop my knowledge and therefore enabled me to exhibit prints in international shows.
I lived in Scotland for a number of years and developed an interest in landscape and urban landscape. This influenced my printmaking in particular Etching/Aquatint. I feel I'm responding too many of these influences again but in a different way. "
