I've always loved drawing and studied Illustration at University - by the end of my degree I was mostly working in the Print Studios and when i graduated Lino Printing was a brilliant way to carry on printmaking whilst on the move and with no studio - plus I love it!

My lino prints start as drawings  – sketching everywhere I go to capture ideas and shapes which evolve into print ideas.  The subject matter is largely nature based, (plants and animals) but also people and places feature, with a stylised and humourous slant - I really love drawing birds, so lots and lots of bird lino prints.
