Currently I use intaglio and relief printing techniques such as; etching, drypoint, collagraph, linocut & Monotype. I realise my designs from everyday observations, reflecting mood and feeling with colour and texture. I have been exhibiting in and around East Anglia for some time now and my work can be seen most years in the Norfolk and Norwich Festival's, "Open Studio's" scheme.
"One of the things I like about Art is that it can challenge our perceptions of something. When an Artist looks around their environment they are not only observing but noticing something that perhaps someone else might not see. Also they may be aware that their observations are coloured with their own ideas and physiological impressions, which can impact on their approach to what they are creating, giving it is character.
In my more recent work I have been exploring the personal meanings of objects and places and what they convey to us over time. I like the idea that the context of an artefact or a place can have a powerful influence on our understanding of it and the emotional responses that we are likely to have towards it".
