Introduction

Statement

I am a multi-media artist combining mixed media work, and video.  I work in a mixture of print media, including screen-printing, linocuts, collagraphs and mono-prints, overlaid with transparent inks and collage, although drawing is at the heart of my work.  Drawing as a way of knowing, as a mode of enquiry and as a visual language.  I love the idea of the repetition of images and use it throughout much of my work.  Working in this medium, I have found a new and vibrant palette, which has spilled over into my long-standing interest in life painting, and has tapped into a deeply buried childhood enjoyment of colour.
