Welcome

I’m a multidisciplinary artist with a studio at Ocean Studios, Royal William Yard, Plymouth, working mainly in printmaking, drawing and photography, where exploration in one medium informs the artwork in others. The focus of my research during my MA in Printmaking evolved into exploring the possibilities of incorporating the digital into my print practice; my recent prints use laser-cut matrices, made from my photographs and drawings which I can then layer up or move into 3D.

I use walking as observation for my research into overlooked natural places within the city, especially its flora and fauna. I observe how the environment is used by locals and tourists alike and how these small oases might quickly disappear unless they are carefully conserved. I am always drawn to the beauty of weeds, the ephemerality of nature with its constant birth/death cycle and the hidden joys of palimpsests; my subject matter is the passing of time and how this can be represented. 

I’m the lead for the Camp-membership Plymouth PrintKin group and we meet at Ocean Studios regularly - we’re always happy to see new members! I’m also a member of People of Print.
