Fine Art Printmaker-painter
My work explores our perceptions, impressions and sense of the world.
Human beings are equipped with primitive fallible senses and a limited ability to process information. Indeed, lives are so busy and caught up in worries about the future, regrets about the past and concern for safety here and now, that it is a wonder we absorb anything of our external world. My pictures are an examination of landscape as we feel it to be for this is the world we each surely live in.
Relief print evolved from sketched impressions of 'Kilburn White Horse, Yorkshire'.
Contrary to the appearance of my relief prints, they are the result of much experimentation during their creation. After each plate, or colour, is printed, a review takes place and often the subsequent plates develop in a way which was not planned.

Cutting a relief print block, especially in a medium with the limitations of lino, forces an artistic problem solving process. This process adds a stylistic, impressionistic, dimension to an image that is nevertheless representational. Figurative work with an 'other world' quality true to its central concept of the richness of impressions, perception and memory.
