About me

​

Thanks for visiting my website!

 

I'm a print maker/artist based in Levenshulme, Manchester.

​

My work is inspired by the scenes and everyday objects around me, things that catch my eye that I want to hold in the light so other people can see them too.

 

I work in a variety of media, but focus mainly on etching, screen printing and lino.  I can't say which is my favourite as I like them all!

 

My aim is to distil the essence of a subject into a bold, simple form that still retains the atmosphere and essential detail. I have experimented with shaped zinc plates, reminiscent of Renaissance oil paintings, and the introduction of 'interference' on the plate.  This exploits the compromises and quirks inherent in print making. I am influenced by Pop Art and graphic images. I am always experimenting with different styles and techniques, but I think my work retains a distinctive style.

​

My most recent work is a series of etchings of urban scenes in and around Salford, which was exhibited at Salford Museum and Art Gallery in 2019.
