I am a printmaker /painter inspired by the flora and fauna of the lovely area in which we live and by the many journeys I have made to Scottish islands taking with me my sketchbook and camera.
My linoprints are individual pieces of work, each plate inked as though in a painting, blending colours as I work.

I am at my happiest when I am sitting with my sketchbook surrounded by nature whether it be my allotment, on the fells or on a rocky headland, where I can take in the fragility of the natural world.

Sketching is a very important element of my practice , often making sketchbooks for particular places and expeditions. I exhibit in various galleries around the county and South Lakes, and with The Lakes Artists Society and Cumbria Printmakers both of which I am a member .

My small studio is in the attic room of my cottage in Kendal, I will occasionally have an open studio event and will post details on my website.
