I am a process led, multi-disciplinary artist, making work with drawing and printmaking methods.

My repetitive mark making is intuitive and organic, exploring breath, location, and time.

I often draw with materials from the environment around me.

Walking is a large part of my aesthetic practice. I’m interested in the physicality of the walk – the departure and arrival and what goes between and the discovery of a spiritual calligraphy and connection with the land.

Breath meditation drawings are made with mindful focus.  A pattern of intuitive mark making drawn while I consciously undertake breath patterns or active listening.

Recent experiments with Wind Drawings are exciting and new to my methodologies.

The drawings feed my printmaking.

I prefer the free flow of a piece as it progresses with monotype, playing inspires the discovery.

I recreate the repetition of the walk and breath drawing exercises with many levels of ink to make intensity and depth. Obliterating older pieces of work to create new pieces, questioning what might lie beneath. Adding wax, and natural and metallic pigments, these watery layered images have a translucence and luminosity unique to the method and perfect for my subject matter. More recently I have returned to monochrome pieces – stripping back the layers leaving strong bold impressions of landscape.
