Etching || Etching uses chemical action to produce incised lines in a copper printing plate, which then holds the applied ink and forms the image. || I make my etchings at my home studio. I try to work as 'non toxic' as possible, as my studio space is very small. I prefer to use copper plates, they are lovely to work on, but have experimented with aluminium & zinc. I like to bring some of the aesthetics & imagery from my drawing on paper onto the plate. I enjoy the technical challenge of creating precise & intricate lines, alongside dot work. My focus is about creating detail and often work using a magnifier. I use traditional etching needles & a micro needle for very small lines. Tones are created with silk, spray & traditional aquatint. Textures are created with a roulette & abrasives. Currently, I like to work on small scale pieces. I enjoy building up a collection of similar pieces. It also allows me to learn & develop, without the restriction of spending months on one piece. I like to cut my plates into shapes & plan to develop this further in the future. I generally print in Black & Sepia with the odd highlight colour, like a rich Gold or Rust. I have recently started to experiment with intaglio methods printed onto leather. Each etching is created in a small edition. Load More Previous Next

Drypoint || Drypoint creates a slightly raised ragged rough edge to the lines, known as the burr. Created on copper, aluminium & plastics || I create drypoints on card, acrylic, aluminium or copper. I prefer to use aluminium. I draw into the surface using a combination of tools. My favourite is a tattoo machine. I also use a Dremel & drypoint tools with ceramic, diamond, agate & hematite stone tips. This is a less precise technique than etching, but I like to challenge myself with adding in as much detail as I can. Lines can be layered up and have a looser feel , but the aesthetic is still the same. I love the softness of a drypoint & how it contrasts with an etching. I like to create tone by leaving a little ink on the plate. The plate itself is a beautiful object, especially in aluminium. Each drypoint is created in a small edition. Load More Previous Next

Leather || Decoration is applied to the surface of vegetable tanned leather with a tattoo machine & black ink || I studied Fashion, Textiles & Embroidery & have always loved working with leather. I decided I wanted to draw onto leather & then created my own unique process, which enables me to tattoo onto natural full grain (vegetable tanned) leather. I refined the process over many years. I create my art with a tattoo machine (& a single needle) It is quite a nail biting experience, as the tattoo machine is prone to spraying ink everywhere, at any given moment. And, as I keep the leather in its most natural state (with no chemicals) any ink spray won’t come off the leather! This problem, lead me to having to be very careful. I decided to embrace working in this careful & precise way. It became the catalyst to me developing my precise & intricate drawing style. The tattooed lines are further enhanced by the use of traditional & decorative leather working techniques. I prefer to use black ink, as I love the contrast with the natural hide. Commissions welcome. A selection of panels can also be found in the store. Load More Previous Next

Drawing || Drawings start as scribbles on paper, before being progressed & refined as digital lines in Adobe Illustrator || I generally begin by collecting reference images, notes & scribbles. In my self directed work, I try to create a series of drawings which create a collection. One example of this is my teardrop collection. I like to do variations on a theme, as I tend to evolve many different designs at the same time. One tends to lead to another. Unlike many other artists I don't work with sketch books, there is something awful about that book of blank pages. I often start a drawing with no real plan. I discard a lot of scribbles quickly before hitting on a very basic composition in the form of written notes, arrows & blocks. I then scan it in and begin to refine the composition in Adobe Illustrator. Working digitally, allows me to hide and/or add layers of detail. I can then decide on what I like & what I don't. Or save ideas for future use. Most of my drawings then becomes fully developed vector line drawings. I then decide if I want to create the art in giclee print, digital, intaglio or leather.
