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. 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 my change as the process of printmaking takes over and my concerns turn to mark making, balance, composition, mood and movement within each print.

My work is centered in the real world and makes extensive and recognisable reference to it - but
filtered through my imagination and experience. I do not attempt to represent the world in a
particular or constant way but try to allow each work to speak for itself.

Although trained as a sculptor, and exhibiting regularly with the Yorkshire Sculptors' Group, I am very happy working as draughtsman, watercolourist and printmaker, and have had my printmaking career hugely facilitated by the accessibility of the West Yorkshire Print Workshop at the Eastthorpe Gallery in Mirfield, and the help and encouragement I have received there. My initial discipline naturally involved a wide-ranging investigation of the human figure. However, the use of watercolour led me towards landscape. I have always been inspired by Turner and Monet and their fascination with light and atmosphere. The sculptural interest in form and mass reasserted itself in turning my attention to the urban and industrial landscape. I have focussed in the past few years on the industrial landscapes of the North: the open-cast mines, chemical works, refineries and steelworks. Here my feelings have been conditioned by disquiet about the effects of industry on the environment; the prints have been in part political protest at the despoiling of the countryside. But they also reveal a fascination with industrial imagery and the awesome power of modern engineering.

Time waits for nothing, all we do is mark it with stones, earthworks and carvings. Those marks record ideas and beliefs, our history.

I work using a variety of printmaking techniques including collagraph, etching, screen printing and lino cutting, either separately or in combination.

Inspiration comes from the built environment; from landscape, especially that adjacent to the sea; from music; and from poetry. I have illustrated many of the poems of the Irish poet Brendan Kennelly and the music of the Norwegian saxophone player Jan Garbarek.

I am currently exploring city floorscapes in Leeds and the rock formations on the Isle of Skye; and am planning a large series of prints based on the music `Jatekok' by Gyorgy Kurtag.
