I graduated from the University of Salford in the mid 90's, and thereafter enjoyed a successful twenty five year career in graphic design and new media.
It was whilst studying that I was introduced to various printmaking techniques such as linocut, screen printing and etching and where I first began to experiment with that form of image making.
Since leaving the design industry, I've returned to my roots and have been a practising printmaker for the last 4 years. During that time, I've honed my skills with linocut, and learned the process of photogravure/photopolymer etching. After many years of sitting at a Mac working with digital imagery, I really enjoy the practical nature of working with paper and ink once again. I love the process - imagining the artwork, producing and inking the plate, and pulling the print.
My work mainly explores the ancient sites, monuments and landscapes in an around my home in the Carneddau Mountains in Eyryri National Park, North Wales.
I've shown my work in local galleries and art fairs, and sold online since I started. If you're interested in purchasing a print, please take a look in my online shop.
