I’m a printmaker/draughtsperson.
I am inspired by structures - haunting remnants of industry, echoes of warfare, or architectural oddities that exist on the fringes of functionality, and often on the fringes of collective memory. I love to draw, whether it’s on paper, canvas or print plates. #art

Walks into studio. Stares at the blank piece of paper on the drawing board. Arranges pencils. Stares at the blank piece of paper again. Rearranges pencils. Blows a great big fat raspberry at the blank piece of paper. Leaves studio…

Always making. If I’m not making I’m thinking about making. Yes, even when I’m talking to you.
It’s all lined up neat and pretty on my website, should you want a trawl.

Crikey, I’m a bit astounded to have had my drawing ‘Seskin Point I’ selected for the prestigious Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize. I’ve been trying to get into this exhibition for donkeys, so it’s lovely to have finally done it!

Cracking Private View last night at the Mall Galleries for the New English Art Club Annual Exhibition. My drawing ‘Seskin Point II’ was beautifully hung in the North Gallery. The artist Diana Armfield was there and very inspiring - she’s 105 and still going strong!
