Biography

 

I have practiced printmaking for a decade and as an artist really enjoy the process which can be very exacting and challenging. As a printmaker, my creativity is limitless. Printmaking processes and techniques can be combined, which provides an endless artistic journey, practising an art form that constantly inspires. My preferred printmaking techniques are mono-printing, silkscreen and linocuts. I gained a certificate in Printmaking from the Curwen Study Centre in Linton in 2015.

 

I'm inspired by form, line, colour and texture, and my prints are informed by a fascination with abstraction, texture and the power of colour.  My recent print projects have been inspired by an abiding interest in textiles, which comes from my childhood legacy left to me by my mother. I spent many hours in her sewing room, where I was taught to sew and knit at the age of five. I have begun to incorporate stitch into my printmaking processes; the texture and form of stitch, both hand and machine, creates beautiful, unexpected marks. Cotton is now my prefered drawing medium to create line and texture in my prints, and paper is the perfect medium for capturing the beauty of the mark. 
 

My current work Remades, is a series of prints that continues to explore and develop imagery which aims to reduce waste materials and create a narrative on 'fast fashion'. Using existing unfinished prints and second-hand clothing to print various textures onto paper, I collage a composition of printed papers, vintage dressmaking paper and use stitch to create a narrative on the fashion industries continual  production of huge quantities of clothing that ends up in land-fill and pollute our planet.
