About me:

I began learning about printmaking at the Ruskin School of Drawing, Oxford in the late nineteen seventies, where I fell in love with the alchemy of it. My printmaking tutor had been at SW Hayter's Atelier 17.

 

I continued with post graduate studies at Wimbledon School of Art (UAL).

 

I work part time at Oxford Printmakers Co-operative as a technician/manager.

 

I worked as a part time print technician and variable hours tutor at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College (OCVC-Banbury Campus) for nearly 13 years.

 

I run printmaking classes at Oxford Printmakers.

 

I have participated in numerous exhibitions.

 

I have run many 'outreach' classes, working with all ages and abilities.

 

I have worked in a consultancy capacity, advising on setting up print studios.

 

Generally my ideas are derived from things such as text, industrial landscapes, archaeology and still life.
