I regularly run and walk in the fells of the Yorkshire Dales and my printmaking reflects my connection to its landscape and natural history. My images are often inspired by wildlife encounters or sometimes a found object such as a feather or bone. I specialise in collagraph, a diverse method that allows me to combine carefully carved detail with looser painted textures contrasting naturalism with stylisation. I find the incidental textures achieved a compelling contrast to my controlled cutting. I am currently enjoying working with museums and ecological groups creating prints that celebrate fragile habitats and the species they support.
