I gained a degree in Fine Art from Newcastle Polytechnic in 1980. While my four children were young, the focus of my work was illustration and portraits. Later my work was predominately commissions for murals, trompe l'oeil, and paint effects. More recently I've returned to printmaking, especially etching, finding fascination in the processes involved. Working wherever possible directly onto the plate, my work is figurative and inspired by the human form and the wilder landscapes of East Anglia, particularly marshes and mudflats.
I regularly exhibit as part of the group 4PRINTmakers. For more info see our website: www.4printmakers.weebly.com
I also exhibit with members of Gainsborough’s House Print workshop.
