My work is experimental, abstract and embossed. Collagraph, etching, watercolour, collage and encaustic works. My main love is abstracting the essence of the landscape in richly coloured textured works, often enhanced with silver and gold leaf. Recent works include a series of watercolour paintings with collagraph embossings. My early experience as a theatrical designer has led to a sculptural approach to printmaking, and I have developed a method of inking using the different levels of the plate, mixing primary colours on the matrix, thus producing a shimmer of colour, much as lighting a stage set. My work develops though the materials I use. My current on-going fascination is with erosion, weather patterns, natural textures, growth formations and universal organic forms.
