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.
