Welcome to my web site
I am on my own journey which includes expression and discovery through my Books, Prints and 3 dimensional work. The diverse skills I have learnt over the years have driven my development as an artist. I love language - the nuances of meaning - the development of thought. I am inspired by the natural world, particularly plant form & landscape. I have spent a lot of time on the North Yorkshire coast and am haunted by the expanse of skies and relentless sea in all its moods.
I find my main means of expression is through sculptural books - which have their own space. I work mainly with folded book forms, which emerge as a response to the subject. Many of my books are computer generated using my photographs, artwork and my own or borrowed words. I also create limited edition books from etchings, and unique books using paints, inks & collage.

I produce monoprints and limited edition prints using aluminium plates, collagraphs & non-toxic etching techniques which result in attractive textures. This helps me produce atmospheric images which I feel helps convey the captured moment. I use plant material to create collagraph printing plates. This Nature Printing enables me to produce ambiguous landscapes beyond observation. My journey is also moving into mixed media & collage which develops these inner landscapes and my interest in sculptural books has led me into working on Timepieces combining my prints with mixed media. And so I move on.
