Artist Statement

I am primarily a printmaker, using monotype, relief and photopolymer etching techniques. I often use prints in my handmade books.

I am interested in the unexpected: the relationships between shapes or images that surprise me; that conjure something not seen before. I often work intuitively from a picture in my mind’s eye, or a fragment of text.

My images are sometimes representational but abstracted, and tend towards the whimsical. Themes come from the ordinary life. In my monotypes, colour and shape can be major subjects, and because the power of words continues to impress me, my work often contains text.

My interest in storytelling has led me to make books. I am interested in both familiar and discovered stories. My books are usually sequential though occasionally offer alternative narrative structures.
