Instagram

Instagram has become a great platform to share work in progress, new collections, thoughts and process. 

Looking at the work of other artists, printmakers, photographers, designers, stylists, makers and all kinds of talented people has become a constant source of inspiration to me. As has the collaboration and creative support that I receive from the many wonderful and generous individuals I interact with daily. 
See you there.

Foursome…. When I make these pieces it’s all quite intuitive. I put the ink onto the plate, in lots of different ways. Roller, rags, fingers, different fabrics, whatever I can think of to give me a good texture or to make good marks tha

Out in the wild doing some research …. It seems like a very long time since I’ve done this, what with the long project and the weather. It’s a time when I don’t really know exactly where I’m going, just being in the l
