I have always been creative and at University I gained a BA(hons) in Graphic Design. After graduating, I took several freelance jobs, before working in publishing for several years and then a charity for ten years.
In the summer of 2019, with my family, I relocated to Scotland, which was meant to be a two year adventure but has become much much more, which I love! The move allowed me to focus on my screen printing practice and I started my freelance journey.
I print most days either in the studio or at home. I love going for long walks with my dog, and my current work is inspired by the views we see and how it makes me feel. This is interpreted in an abstract way using simple basic shapes, playing with layering, joining edges together and turning the paper around until I like what I see. Printing like this allows me lots of options to experiment without having to re-expose screens, which I need the studio for. This method also means most of my screen prints are one-offs or small editions.
What's next for me? To keep making, playing with ideas, learning new techniques and growing in my practice.
