  • Biography

    I am a printmaker with a passion for exploring colour and composition. I produce limited edition screen prints of the places and scenes that move and inspire me.  I have developed my own unique style, which has been described as looking ‘Instagrammy’ – I predominantly work in a square format, with imagery starting life as digital photographs.

    I also explore colour and composition through abstract prints, which are influenced by op art and minimal graphic design.

    I print at West Yorkshire Print Workshop in Mirfield, and in my studio at Globe Arts in Slaithwaite, West yorkshire.
