I am an artist exploring drawing and lithographic printmaking. My work is concerned with reflecting the internal experiences of the world and a human connection to place. I am drawn to states of transition. Between exterior and interior worlds; psychological and physical, absence and presence, surface and depth.
I am the co- author of Lithography: An Artist’s Guide, Crowood Press, 2023. I run The Lemonade Press, a studio dedicated to Lithography.
Each colour layer is printed by hand and I make small editions at my studio.
With a practice rooted in drawing and printmaking, I draw images which compel me often using the setting of domestic interiors to form structures containing narratives which play with the interconnectedness of the physical bodily sensations and emotional experiences; exploring beyond what the eyes can see.The colours in my work are intentionally hazy to reflect the nature of memory.
I use the lithographic printing process to collage together images; drawing on the stone and manipulating them during the processing to achieve certain affects. Stone lithography is considered an endangered craft by the Heritage Crafts Association, and I am one of the few practitioners in the UK.
