Aldenham Art Festival - Aldenham 13th-22nd August
Tree ring prints:
The beauty of trees is obvious to see from the outside but within their structure lies a hidden beauty that I endeavour to reveal through direct printing by hand from cut tree sections from already fallen trees. I turn these sections into printing blocks by working them flat before exposing the ring formations with fire.
Biography:
After my formal art and design studies and some years working with interior designers on new house builds I have been working within woodlands and landscapes with the Woodland Trust and managing light and dark through a lens with Vitsoe. I set up my art practice in 2005 creating abstract art in various forms and materials for private collections and galleries.
This year my work is being shown : Art in the Nave - Hemel Hempstead, Aldenham art festival, Big Art Fair - Hatfield, Fox Yard Studio - Suffolk, Henderson Hub - Abbots Langley, AKA Gallery - Cambridge and The Gallery at Green and Stone - London and in 2023 I exhibited at the London Biennale, Tarpey Gallery and the Heart of the Tribe Gallery. I am a member of Herts Visual Arts and will be taking part in their 2024 'Open Studio'.
