  • I create limited edition linocuts from my home studio near Needham Market in Suffolk, where I live with my husband, two sons and two cats! In my work, my black and white designs have a bold, graphic quality where I enjoy the mark-making potential of the medium.  My colour designs are created using the 'reduction method' where each colour is printed one at a time and further lino is carved away in between printing.

    My inspiration comes from my frequent sketching trips, mainly in the Suffolk countryside. Designs normally evolve from observational drawings and paintings. My main aim in my practice is to achieve images that celebrate the natural qualities of linocut. Selling through Artfinder is great because it allows me to share my linocuts with a global audience.
