Since 2020, printmaking - specifically screen printing - has been my main creative output.

I enjoy rambling (literally and metaphorically) and am a compulsive hoarder of stuff that might be useful one day. I am drawn to abstraction in my thinking, seeing and making and alive to the value of ‘undirected thought’ and the potency of a sense of curiosity. I delight in the human capacity for invention, whether scientific, mathematical, artful or child’s play and thirst for learning.

I am led in my work by material and process. often starting with a chance observation or by sifting through or handling whatever ‘washes up’ on my rambles - always reaching for what might be just round the corner, over the next ridge, or just out of the frame. I seek out the blindspots, the elusive and the fugitive! My work is playful, exploratory and full of contradictions.

Much of my current work germinates from a response to light and movement: from the initial observation of shadow playing on a surface or sunlight through leaves, to the use of photography in the creative process through to the final output of colour overlays on paper. It is a logical reflection of the screen printing process itself.

My printmaking work celebrates light, colour and improvisation, and places equal value on intellectual and sensory experience. I approach it openly, with good humour and immeasurable curiosity.

I began exhibiting with commercial galleries and at print fairs in the North of England, where I am based, in 2020 and am happy in the knowledge that some of my work now lives in homes up and down the UK, in Europe, the USA and the Far East.

If you wish to know more about anything on this website or my work more generally, I’d love to hear from you.
