Artist Statement
The natural elements, wind, rain and sun create endless variations of the same landscape. My walks inspire me to capture the environment I see through the experimentation of printmaking processes and techniques.
To create a particular scene, I experiment with different printmaking techniques to capture the different moods of the environment around me, from stormy clouds to tranquil waters. Monoprinting enables me to capture the light in the sky; collagraphs capture the texture of a rock through the transparency of water. Drypoint provides fine details of the twisting branches of a tree. The bold lines of woodblock printing define my work through patterns and contours within the landscape.
All my artworks are original, handmade, limited edition prints. Each print is inked and printed by myself, consequently, each image has its own originality, and no two prints are ever identical.
