About
I’m a fine art painting graduate from the University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham in 2004, now settled back home in West Wales to raise my family. I first started printmaking in 2010 when I joined my local print group Printers in the Sticks, as my children are getting older I’m increasingly finding the time to develop my practice.
My work which can be varied in subject matter often have a common narrative of nostalgia and melancholy, memories of fishing with my father and siblings, the discarded toys of my own children and the heritage and tradition of welsh quilt work.
Collagraph’s have become a firm favourite of mine as I feel a quality akin to charcoal drawing to it, a tactility, a freedom in the mark making by tearing the layers which result in beautiful tonal depths which are then punctuated with sharp lines and staccato dots.
My recent prints which often consists of many smaller collagraph plates that make a compositional patchwork are laid intuitively, without overthinking, looking for that happy accident that is presented in the Reveal.
