A Still August Day 

A sunprint  of plants collected in August, with the addition of lino butterflies.

Colour is really important to me, mixing and softening by overprinting many plates of a limited colour pallette.

Misty May Morning

A sunprint using plant material, building up delicious layers of soft colours, overprinting many times for a satisfying conclusion of rich colours.

Similar approach to Blackbird Nest, eggs are lifesize and cut out of lino, I've created the nest out of plant material using sun plates. I'm enjoying the multi layering of subtle shapes and colours, building a delicious patina of textures.

A recent exploration into the complexities of nest building, I'm using life size eggs (lino) and plant material similar to those used by the birds.

I have sent a few images of my prints to the Curwen Print Centre, for their online gallery. The print centre is trying to raise funds to build new print rooms, studios and teaching premises, lets hope it works out for them.

I'm delighted to be exhibiting my prints in the Upstairs Gallery at the Craftco Gallery in Southwold, for November 2020.

If you have never visited this special, gorgeous hand made craft shop, you will be in for a treat.

You won't find Giclee (photo copied) prints here, everything is original, honest and made by the artist.

I am delighted that this mixed technique print called 'Five Rows of Mostly Wild Small Things' has been accepted for the Sir John Hurt & Sworders Prize exhibition, to be shown in Melton Constable this September 2020 along with 100 other artworks. go to http://www.holtfestival.org/artprizes/ for more information.
