Biography
I love it when a person gets lost in a picture, carried back to their childhood or inspired. Perhaps it triggers a memory or allows them to dream of a better world or just dream...
Starting with very rough sketches, I translate some of them into paintings or handmade prints. My handbag is full of scribbles on the backs of receipts or napkins because you just never know when an idea may arrive.
I've been creating for over two decades. My love of storytelling started with a Performing Arts background and the dreamy, whimsical themes from a tendency to 'switch off' from the world around me. My work often features imagined characters in imaginary landscapes and playful narratives, sometimes with a serious context but always hopeful and life-affirming.
I like to combine my ideas with ancient printmaking techniques, particularly etching, as I can achieve multiple prints with a beautiful, crafted vintage feel where each one is handmade and therefore unique.
My tidy studio (nothing like my handbag) in North London is where the chaos of my ideas find order and come to life.
I'm a member of the Printmakers Council and the Southbank Printmakers and exhibit in group and solo shows in the UK including London's Bankside Gallery and the Mall Galleries. My work can be viewed permanently at the Southbank Printmakers Gallery, has been archived in London's Victoria and Albert Museum and is found in collections worldwide.
