PRINTMAKER PROFILE
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a professional Graphic Designer and musician, but have always had a love of print, particularly lino print. Following my cancer diagnosis in 2016 and during my recovery, I have rekindled my passion for lino design and other print techniques.
My designs have allowed my artistic expression to develop and helped my overall well-being. I have shown in Nottingham & Derbyshire galleries and continue to develop my creative skills and design ideas. This last year I have begun to create a series of lino and dry point portraits, contemporary and historically based on my own ancestry research, and the importance of connection with people close to me, something which has impacted all of our lives during the pandemic.
