Welcome to my website
I am a mixed media artist specializing in the creation of handmade books. My work is inspired by landscape, both that of the Lake District, where I am fortunate enough to live, and the Hebrides, my preferred holiday destination.
Although I still use recycled text and maps in some of my work combined with my own photographs I am now more involved in printing. I am using a wide variety of printmaking techniques to produce new work. I still create sculptural artists’ books and a range of sketchbooks and journals but I am increasingly focused on producing framed and mounted work. See Colonsay Prints.
I exhibit regularly with two other artist bookmakers, Joan Newall and Annwyn Dean as PagePaperStitch and also with Green Door Artists and Cumbria Printmakers.
I have also been selected for other exhibitions as an individual including “Collect Cumbria” at Blackwell, the Arts and Crafts House and I regularly undertake commissions.
