I am a North Yorkshire artist and printmaker based in the Vale of York and I specialise in limited edition silkscreen prints. My creative process is led by daily drawing activities in my sketchbooks where I explore my surroundings and record my experiences.
All my prints are created without the use of computer technology and are developed by layering hand drawn images as well as mixing and applying ink directly to the screen. I make very small editions and there are variations in each print I create.
My studio is based on a working farm, and I have a professional printing press and exposure unit. I am a member of West Yorkshire Print and take part in North Yorkshire Open Studios.
I sell my work directly to the public from my home studio and online through my website. I have had a broad range of exhibition experience as well as exhibiting at print fairs including ‘Printfest’ Ulverston for the first-time last year, The Hepworth Wakefield and Sunnybank Mills, Leeds. I have also taken part in online exhibitions during COVID and more recently online selling events including ‘Curated Makers’.
The following galleries stock my work:

I have been a full time printmaker for over 5 years.
