My practice focuses on traditional methods of linocut printmaking, gouache and oil painting. My printmaking process consists of hand drawing and designing the image for the block on paper and transferring it to tracing paper and then working out the colours for the composition. Working out the colours for a print is the most time consuming. " I will use watercolour, gouache or coloured pencils to get the feel I want first on paper then I will try and replicate that into the process of the print. Sometimes, I change the colour as I go along. It is all intuitive and determined by my feelings at the time."
The reduction technique I employ is slow and methodical. Using one linoleum block I carve and print each colour separately until the print is completed. The block is 'reduced'. Registering the print each time for the new colour is crucial.
My prints and paintings display my passion for colour and narration. I have an interest in classical mythology, the human form, animals, gardens & landscapes, textile design, still-life and my every-day surroundings. These interests provide endless inspiration for my work.
