All works displayed are one-off originals mostly hand- pulled individually thru my etching press. I prefer to collate ideas onto the key block as I ink up and before I pull the plate thru the press.

I am often looking to layer the image with additional relief printing, stencils, offset, stitch or rollering. Quite often the original pulled print involves triple viscosity roller work.

I don't get hung up on whether its classified as a monoprint, monotype, etching or mixed media. The techniques are important and central but the finished artwork /image should hold its own.

I love colour, exploring techniques and combinations and never get bored with print making or lose my excitement or appreciation of other printmakers work and practices.

I thank the day I came across a Stanley Hayter Book in the library that blew me away and started more determined adventures with expressive printmaking and grateful to the many printers who have shared their practices.
