Printmaker based in the beautiful English Lake District

As a printmaker and painter I have a long standing interest in what can make otherwise familiar or mundane subjects unsettling or intriguing. I explore various images from new or unexpected perspectives, focusing on making subtle alterations which evoke feelings of unease or raise the question ‘What exactly is that?’.

Current work was prompted by a visit to Donegal, where for historical and social reasons there are many abandoned houses where the contents have been left intact. The torn net curtains seemed a melancholy reminder of previous better times and the upheaval that there must have been. Each print, linocut and monoprint on black paper, is made in small editions of six.

I am a member of Lakes Artists and Cumbria Printmakers. My work is shown in exhibitions all across the UK, for my latest and forthcoming shows, see the news pages.

Now, I have two works exhibiting at The Summer Exhibition at The Royal Academy, London, open until 18th August 2024.

I will be part of the “Small but Mighty” print exhibition at the Royal  Society of Painter Printmakers, Bankside Gallery, London. September 19 – 29 2024

I am also exhibiting at the Ferens Gallery, Hull, for their Summer Open theme ‘The Sea’.

Also current exhibiting at the Brwery Arts Centre, Kendal.
