My work is representational comprising largely of landscape and figurative work. I am a painter and printmaker and although I use etching, dry-point and lino-cut more recently I seem to prefer the immediacy and tactility of monotype printmaking. I feel my work is perceptual rather than conceptual, emotional rather than intellectual and I prefer expression over realism, subtlety over sensationalism, substance over novelty and intuition over reason. I endeavour to express something beyond visual verisimilitude.
