Artist statement
Originally from Cornwall, I am based in Torquay, South Devon, where I have a publicly-accessible studio in the centre of the town. I am interested in the %u2018magical%u2019 aspects of landscape - places overlooked, mysterious, enigmatic and energetic. Dartmoor is the location that appears most in, or inspires, my work. I make and produce limited edition relief lino prints, mezzotints and detailed charcoal/pastel drawings.
