Following retirement from architectural practice in 2018, I have developed my interest in printmaking alongside friends and fellow members of Aberystwyth Printmakers. I have been particularly drawn to working in dry point on card, where the printing process allows for experimentation in the scoring, inking-up and wiping of the plate. 

The subjects that interest me for printmaking are the human form, birds, flowers, still lives and the garden at our family home. I have also been engaged with responding to some of the beautiful places to be discovered in the mid Wales landscape and with making a series of prints of Romanesque and Gothic architectural subjects.
