The constant theme in my work is represented by 'the line'. The line creates a connection between my past and my present and my working method has been developed out of necessity: very little time and a growing family which required a way of working allowing bursts of hard graft and period of neglect. As the years have passed, I can now spend time developing ideas and colour schemes all still underpinned by the line.

My work is not a constant narrative; it can sometimes be thematic. However it is united by the hands which make it and the printing method used. I currently favour drypoint etching, once used by Rembrandt, so I am in good company. I also use photopolymer etching (also known as solar etching) as well as collagraph and screen printing.

What I like most about printing is best described by painter and printmaker Stephen Chambers: 'printing is a mix of chance, recklessness and the unexpected'

I use patterns and symbols which are all invented and inspired by nature, religious objects, paintings, myths and legend but also the rhythm of poetry and literature.

I am a founding member and current member of The Buckinghamshire Craft Guild and we have a permanent Gallery in Stoke Mandeville in Buckinghamshire (buckinghamshirecraftguild.co.uk).

I am also a member of the Buckinghamshire Art for all (BAFA), a Printmaking Network in Buckingham. With this group i have taken part in the 20:20 annual print exchange organised by Hot Press Printmaking Studio

I print regularly with Boden Press where we develop work in response of an author on a yearly basis and exhibit the work as a big group exhbition (for 2022 we exhibited at Green & Stone in London for our 'Woolf in Print' exhibition. (https://thegalleryatgreenandstone.com/12-bodenpress-artists/)

I exhibit yearly for two weeks for our county's Artists weeks in June - this year it was with a small group of 4 and we were very well received.

Exhibition list can be detail by demand.
