My etchings begin with drawings made in wild places, deep valleys, secret paths, seas in many moods or trees in all their glory. I work slowly on the plate ,using hard ground, then aquatint, then more hard ground, until completion. I sometimes use 2 or more plates to create colour contrasts or a colour roll over some of the plate. I use copper, it is wonderful to polish bringing out white highlights and not affecting my colour use. My prints are a record of what I have seen, a moment to return to.
