A BIT ABOUT ME
I am an artist, printmaker and teacher. I studied illustration, painting and drawing in London and Bristol, and a Masters in Printmaking in Bristol in 2006. My images are more to do with proposing questions and presenting paradoxes than suggesting answers. I aim to evoke the viewer’s own creativity and convey a sense of mystery, trusting in visual qualities to communicate.
