Saffron Walden

On the east coast of Suffolk where I live and work, inspiration is everwhere. Gentle countryside, unspoilt river valleys, the atmospheric long shingle beaches and peaceful marshlands. All are on my doorstep.

I can often be found cycling around my local lanes armed with a sketch book, gathering ideas for my next linoprint.  Back in my studio I carve the design into the linoblock. Having explored and experimented with various printmaking techniques I found linocut, with its clean illustrative lines, to be the most satisfying medium through which to express my ideas, I then use my old cast iron Albion press, which has been with me since the begining of my printmaking journey, to make my prints.

Making my art is my pleasure and hopefully it gives others pleasure too.
