I gained an honours degree in Fine Art at OxfordBrookesUniversity in 2002. A founder member of Milton Keynes Printmakers, I currently chair the group, which runs a printmaking workshop at Great Linford Milton Keynes. My ideas are usually expressed through the media of printmaking and artist’s books. I use etching, wood engraving and linocut. Some of my work explores place and time and reflects my interest in the resonance of particular places in personal memory. I make work to express my own ideas and preoccupations but consider it most successful when I find it has communicated directly to another person.
