My most recent work explores the technique of Monoprinting. More akin to painting as these are ‘one off’s’ not editions, although it is possible to make several versions. ‘The Garden’ is a series of work I have been making inspired by the Adam and Eve story. It’s loosely based on musings in the garden, experiences of love, life and the serpent lurking in the undergrowth.

I am enjoying this painterly, looser and less graphic approach. I am loving the feeling of scraping into the ink, drawing with a printing roller and applying layers of colour.

I am inspired by the lush Herefordshire Landscape and observations of the mini dramas of bird and beast which take place in the garden environment.
