Statement
of Work
My work has always been about landscape, coast and inland.
I take my inspiration from Dorset, where I visit often, and
from the countryside round Bath, my home city. Not only do
I love the voluptuousness of hills but also the field patterns
that are created by their cultivation and I am moving towards
a more emotional interpretation of the landscape as I see
it. I have walked the Dorset Coast Path from Lyme Regis to
Studland Bay, and this has fed into my work.
My prints are landscape images using the media of etching
and drypoint with carborundum, sometimes using colour to print
with. I am currently exploring monotype colour printing, which
I find very liberating and exciting. I can then add pastel
and acrylics to get the effect I want. This allows more variety
of colour and more immediate results.
I am currently working on artists books that combine calligraphy
and relief printing.
