I came to printmaking from a background in watercolour and brought with me the practice of overlaying glazes to create colour and depict form. Now I work mainly in reduction linoprint, which means I am always moving on to my next piece. I build up complex layers of translucent ink to create detailed, evocative scenes of woodland, footpaths, water and dappled shade. My work is intended to afford the viewer some of the peace and calm that comes from being outdoors and interacting with the natural world, especially when they might be unable to access it in real life.
