Printmaker

Printmaking is my favourite medium to work with as I love the different qualities of line, texture and contrast which can be created and the unpredictability of it. I use various printmaking techniques including dry point, monoprinting, relief print and collagraph. I also experiment with watercolour, drawing and collage. These techniques enable me to achieve original outcomes and I enjoy being experimental and open to new processes. I tend to be drawn to the natural world particularly plant forms, birds and landscapes . Recently I have discovered gelliprinting and several of my monoprints have been created using this technique.
