Linocut

I am an Exeter based print maker specialising in reduction lino printmaking. I have adapted a medium usually associated with bold blocks of colour to capture fleeting cloudscapes and the ephemeral nature of light. I am inspired by the landscapes of the West Country from the Somerset Levels to the Exe Estuary. My images expertly convey an immersive sense of space combined with a tangible sense of calm. Because of this many of my prints have been enlarged and used to decorate the walls of medical departments in Torbay and Bath hospitals.

My work has been exhibited at the RWA Bristol, Falmouth Gallery and RAMM Exeter. I am a member of Make SouthWest (previously the Devon Guild of Craftsmen). Several of my prints feature in Art Angels contemporary card collection.
