About the Artist
The main interest and inspiration in my art has always been the natural world and living forms. I am especially interested in trees and plants, and the ways in which we influence and change our natural landscapes, the effects of human activity, the relationship between organic and built environments.
I am primarily a printmaker working in Lino and woodcut, recent work combines woodcut prints with hand-colouring in watercolour. Giving a greater range of colour, detail and texture to better show my intention, which is to explore the natural world of trees, plants and flowers, and the amazing variety of colour and shape, the sheer diversity of what can grow in our own back gardens. And to explore plants which are bred and live in ‘captivity’; a possible future for many plant species, and for our experience of them, certainly those which may not be able to survive and adapt to long term changes to their environment.
