Biography
"My Surroundings form the initial inspiration for my work, which are essentially observations of the world around me. I'm interested in the experience of the landscape, a sense of place and the comings and goings of everyday life. I arrange and filter images combining sketches with memories and often work spontaneously and intuitively. From my initial ideas, my prints grow quite organically through the mark making processes. I enjoy this journey and encourage it"
