I am a visual artist and printmaker who specialises in drawing and wood engraving. The prints I make are often also used for collage onto natural and found objects such as driftwood, fragments of stone or ceramic.  I am particularly drawn to wood engraving as through the ‘letting in of light’ it is possible to create incredibly detailed and atmospheric images, with a vast  tonal and textural range.   In the introduction to her book ‘A Being More Intense: the art of six wood engravers ‘ Jenny Pery describes the qualities of wood engraving that fascinate me, perfectly, when she writes, The crepuscular delights of black, white and grey seem to fire the imagination and draw the viewer into the image….the small scale and exacting nature of the medium can liberate the imagination. Whole worlds can be suggested in tiny spaces’   It is these ‘tiny spaces’ depicting imagined landscapes and architecture or closely observed botanical structures or objects that I hope to draw the viewer into.
