 meaning that the image is unique, although I sometimes print a small edition of about five pieces.I have developed several techniques for collecting imprints from textured surfaces such as rock or the ground beneath trees. In this way I can capture the ‘footprint‘ of a specific place or object. I then combine this print with other imagery from the original site to give additional context.My work can go through many stages as I add different layers to the original image, and I sometimes use mixed media (mm) additions such as acrylic, chine colleé, collage, coloured pencil, pastel or watercolour to complete the piece. &method=button "Share with Pinterest"){kind=small}

My Work
My subject matter is based on observation of all kinds of natural imagery from a crack in the pavement to a sweeping landscape. Initial images are recorded through photography, drawing, casting and collecting found items. I have found the work of land artists such as Richard Long and the Boyle family of particular interest and during my MA I made a series of works based on walks in my local environment. I have found the Bill McKibben quote ‘Each square foot of soil is stamped indelibly with our crude imprint’ a constant inspiration.
Techniques used in my work
I have used a wide variety of fine art printing techniques including Lino, Etching, Drypoint, Silkscreen, Stencil, Monoprint and Collograph. Most pieces are AP (Artist’s Proof) meaning that the image is unique, although I sometimes print a small edition of about five pieces.
