I am always happy to give you a Studio Visit…

it gives you a chance to have a tour round the basement - which will take approximately one minute … ! However to have a good look through the enormous piles of work could take considerably longer !!!

Having visitors also forces me to tidy up!!

Since then have exhibited and sold my work internationally in USA, London and Dorset and some of my luckier artworks have made their way Portugal, Monaco, Malaysia, Quatar & Australia !!

After moving to Dorset I found a Printing course and amongst other print processes, fell in love with Screenprinting - a fantastically versatile technique which can be applied to many surfaces including fabric, so has endless possibilities - and then my work took a different direction !

I made several works in the traditional screenprinting manner - using photographic & paper plates, but then soon went ‘off piste’ when I started mixing colours on the screen - the results looked more like a painting than a print and my editions were varied !!!

I enjoyed the ‘imperfections’ that appear when pushing the print-making boundaries, so decided to embrace these perfect accidents and develop my own spontaneous approach to print-making. At the same time my images became increasingly abstract.

As my art evolved, I struggled to know what to call it - then finally settled on ‘Unique Abstract Monotypes’ which seems to describe it best....

After qualifying as a Graphic Designer, I worked in design agencies in Greater Manchester & London, then later became self employed, freelancing and working with a large variety of customers - from Bloomberg to flower shops !

Later on, tired of staring at a screen all day & producing precision artwork, to very stringent deadlines, I wanted a more creative outlet so I started to paint again.
