"Rural and urban landscapes provide the starting point for my prints. I sketch in all weathers and the elements play a large part in defining the spirit of my work and I like to include buildings in my work, to give a sense of history and place; a human connection to the landscape and spaces around us. I am also interested in composition and creating a balance between what I have seen and sketched and the natural rhythms of lines and tones across the printed surface. The original image may change as the process of print-making takes over and my concerns turn to mark-making, balance, composition, mood and movement within each piece. I currently mainly use monoprint, drypoint, collograph, chine colle and screen print techniques - often combining the techniques together. I usually print an edition of between 1 - 5 prints. "
