After thirty-five years in architectural practice and sixty years of drawing practice, I began printmaking in 2012 by experimenting with linoleum and Japanese vinyl relief prints. Attending life-long learning courses run by Aberystwyth School of Art and Aberystwyth Printmakers I subsequently became interested in the techniques of dry point, copper plate etching, collagraph and stone lithography as well as the history of printmaking.

​

I am currently drawn to working in dry point on card because there is such a close connection between the genesis of an idea for a picture and its realisation in the studio, where the printing process allows for experimentation in the scoring, inking-up and wiping of the card plate. 

​

My first printmaking subjects were the human form, birds, flowers and still life. More recently I have been absorbed with responding to the intricate and beautiful places to be discovered in the landscapes of mid Wales and in the less visited southern parts of Snowdonia while also developing a series of prints informed by study of Romanesque and Gothic architectural subjects in the British Isles and continental Europe.
