I am a self taught lino print artist. Although lino was my preferred medium during my school art qualifications, I specialised in monumental stone masonry at university!

I am a teacher in a Special School, mainly teaching art - I am so passionate about enabling pupils to express themselves through art, especially pupils who struggle with communication and regular education - it empowers them.

I have recently come back to lino due to my love of carving in relief and the bold graphic quality of the finished products. I am especially interested in all types of handmade papers and the beautiful warmth and interest they bring to my art. Lino opens up all kind of experimental opportunities with a single image, and this is why I gain so much joy and passion from my work.
