Artist’s Statement
As a Fine Art Printmaker, I specialise in hand-inked, original collagraph prints inspired by the Dorset landscape. Using carefully built collage blocks, my work combines the vibrant colours of oil-based printing inks with the textural qualities of the materials I use. This combination produces a distinctive look that makes my work recognisable. Having experimented with a number of techniques I now work almost exclusively in this way, constantly alighting on new materials to experiment with such as chopped chives and oatmeal, as well as the more conventional string, kitchen salt and corrugated card.
My ‘Textural Landscape' series, explores the geographical variety of my home county, Dorset. From hidden coves and rocky coastal paths to dense woodland and vast vistas overhung by massive skies, I find it is a never ending wealth of inspiration.
