‘Places I would like to be….’

My work is concerned with the experience of being in… or sense of…a place or journey… real or imagined.

These unique monotype silkscreen paintings do not seek to be physically accurate or describe anywhere particular, but are places that I would like to walk through and explore.

These are an outward expression of inner mark making, the footprints of past and future encounters.

Colour is very important to me as it primes the emotional nature of a piece of work.
Through the continual application and removal of layers of paint I try to expose the essence of my memory and imagination.

I received a Distinction in my final year of an MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking at UWE in 2004, taught printmaking for many years at Foundation and Degree level and now run workshops in water and oil based monotype in my studio, and at Spike Print Studio in Bristol.

I exhibit regularly throughout the South West, am a member of the Bath Society of Artists and RWA Artists Network.

This is the award winning work, Prize For Excellence, Clifton Arts Summer Open Bristol ‘Squall’ silk screen monotype 75 x 35 cm

My favourite stretch of water on the daily bike ride. I was enjoying the blonde grasses,trees branches reflected in the water and the beautiful blue of the distant hills, then noticed the face in profile!

Celebrating a beautiful springlike day. Getting out into nature has been such a help during lockdown. This is the turnaround bridge for my cycle ride across the local moor that happens several times a week. I’ve been photographing this spot over the last couple of months in all different lights and weathers, but I thought I would post this one as it has an uplifting feel. Happy Thursday!

This is a departure from my usual process palette and technique. Playing around with oil painting, inspired by the frosty fields on my morning walks. Hope you are all doing okay..
