    Artist Statement

    Following 2 productive residencies in China, my work with woodcuts has developed into a much more adventurous use of colour and recently into monotype, particularly portraits. My 2 months in China also made me much more aware of the importance of the paper I use and I now choose bamboo fibre paper for a lot of the work I do.

    I have always been socially engaged and another recent development has been to engage much more overtly 'politically' in my work. In 2014 I was awarded an Arts Council grant for the arts for a project on Waste Disposal. Also since 2015 I've been working on a series of prints (woodcuts) about our values as a society, using images of soldiers as a symbol of what, from a British perspective, we are prepared to defend, with force if necessary.
