I make abstract expressionist works through silkscreen printmaking.

​

A love of vibrant colour and off-kilter repetition has been part of me for as long as I can recall, but in an ever-more artificial and filtered world, seeing and feeling the hand of the maker seems more important than ever. With every pull of the squeegee I’m looking to capture moments of energy, eschewing design and perfection for a looseness and pure spontaneity.

​

Paper and canvas are wonderful materials to print on. I also can’t help thinking ‘what if…’ which leads to experimenting with less familiar materials such as chiffon, tulle and other materials. 

​

Being ‘over-sensitive’ with a 'heightened sensitivity to injustice’ means that 21st-century inequality and division doesn’t sit well with me. My work addresses this boldly, celebrating unity in difference, presenting a more joyful and optimistic vision. The Seneca phrase “we are waves of the same sea” chimes loudly, informing a recurring theme and motif.

​

Minimal in form and generous in their use of colour, I’m aiming for a physicality from looking at my prints, for people to feel the motion and visual energy. It’s work to be experienced rather than explained, and rewards repeated viewing. But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself at a studio visit.
