Artist Statement
After Graduating as an art teacher I specialised in teaching children with special educational needs. I am presently
working as a self-employed artist printmaker offering creative printmaking workshops from my home studio and in my local
community.
I make imaginative, figurative collagaph and drypoint hand made prints. My images are based on personal memories,
dreams or stories heard as a child. Less concerned with perspective, scale or realism I try to find forms to hold the
feeling behind the stories being explored.
The collagraphs are taken from cardboard plates on which I score lines with a craft knife and add a variety of
textures from everyday materials such as wallpaper, fabric and adhesive.
The drypoint prints are taken from Perspex or Crystaline Polypro plates, which have been scratched with a drypoint
tool. Editions of prints are limited to 20. Each print is unique, varying in colour, texture and tonality as I often
over work the prints in mixed media colour.
