About the Artist
My artistic work has evolved over many years, with a particular interest towards graphics, visual imaging, surface pattern and design and various methods of printmaking. Within my creative process the knowledge of various traditional printing making methods is combined with the use of computer software. There is an element of cross referencing and point of convergence. I have moved away from traditional genre, working beyond conventional procedures. Using content and colour in an inspirational manner. Embracing revision ,change and transformation.
My method of work is to combine in a single composition pictorial ingredients from various sources such as drawings, illustrations, prints or photographic images.
This initial preparation work is scanned into a computer. The different images are then manipulated and overlaid on screen with other visual elements added to produce a structured composition. I may at different stages print off the images as ideas are developing before the final colours and tone values are introduced to create the finished composition. The printing process involves using ultrachrome pigment inks onto etching rag paper.
It is by using the computer software with its unique ability and accuracy that enables me to interpret and create from my preparation work multiple prints of high quality.
