About

I am a fine artist and printmaker based in Salisbury, UK. My hand printed linocuts are delicate, intricate and carefully observed from nature. My work invites the viewer to look closer and see the beauty that might otherwise be overlooked. It explores themes that are meaningful to me - the flow of life, spiritual connection, collaboration and the messy beauty found in relationships and the human heart. The printmaking process itself is meditative and healing, and my hope is that as I create, I can bring joy and beauty to the lives of others.

Making art has always been a part of me. I find that gathering and exploring takes me back to the way I studied nature as a child. I spend a lot of my free time outdoors - on my allotment, foraging and wandering through the woods. I enjoy sketching from life as well as photographing my finds along the way.

My journey with relief printmaking began around 12 years ago when I came across some vintage Indian wood blocks at a wood fair. They were battered and I had no idea what to do with them, but they were so beautiful I had to have them. I took some time to investigate how they would have been used and tried printing with them for myself. I wanted to create my own designs and remembered linocut from school, so I bought a starter kit online and was totally hooked!  It is a real pleasure to share that joy with others and I run workshops several times throughout the year.
