I make etchings, screen prints and paintings. My prints draw on my design background, striving for simple, stylised forms. My paintings are mostly oil on paper or canvas. I use a technique where the paint is rolled out onto a smooth surface then transferred to the painting, similar to monoprint. Each layer is dried then built up to create translucent colours which reveal other tones beneath.

Compositions come from all manner of sources, from pebbles found on a beach, to 1970s wallpaper. You never know when something will appear and volunteer itself as an idea! Favourite artists and designers include Barbara Hepworth, Terry Frost, Orla Kiely, Terence Conran, Lucienne Day. I’m a big fan of 60’s and 70’s ceramics, especially those from Scandinavia.

My work is intentionally domestic. It is there to complement an interior, and to work with the colours and forms which are common to modern homes. I find it inspiring to see paintings and prints as part of a room, and to see the way they can change the whole mood and character of a living space.
