About the Artist

I am a London based Artist/Printmaker.
I studied in Staffordshire (BA hons), followed by the Slade (Printmaking MA). I then continued with my work from a studio in Spitalfields for a further five years, having exhibitions with some lecturing thrown in. Pretty carefree really.

Then life happened, what I can say. Despite my best intentions I had another life to support. A PGCE beckoned and there began my teaching career which lasted ten years. Followed by fourteen years as a Pilates teacher. My work had always been figurative, after a fashion, so a reasonable fit.

I use to think time was linear, things happen in a certain order. Then 2020 arrived. My Father died in January, he was 92 so that’s ok, yes?

In March I came down with Covid. One visit to A & E, eight weeks mainly spent in bed. Finally a diagnosis of Long Covid, which continues.

On 3rd June my reason for the PGCE left me bereft and broken. My Son Louis died suddenly during lockdown having been furloughed from his job. Pulmonary Embolism caused by DVT.

The need to create was/is overwhelming.
To return to the thing I love but through changed eyes, hence my new body of work entitled ‘A Covid Grief’. A selection of Lino and Woodcuts made in my kitchen at home.
