Following careers in graphic design and teaching, I discovered my love of relief printmaking and now work as a printmaker from my home studio. I have always loved vibrant illustrations and bold use of colour, and try to incorporate bright, graphic elements into my linocut prints. Images are often inspired from places I have visited and striking colours, shapes and patterns found in nature. All of my designs are original and handprinted, and most are limited editions. Most of my work is created using the ‘reduction’ method which enables a multi-coloured print to be produced layer by layer from one block.
