My work

Much of my work is a study of history, how it is made and understood.

I like to use traditional and non-traditional techniques to look at our relationship to history, as well as collective and personal memory.

I do this by examining historical records, archaeological studies, and the art and objects of the past to create works that combine or flatten time, or question it’s passing.

I render modern views of historic sites using centuries old techniques, recreate forgotten game consoles in layers of ink, and create digital paintings resurrecting lost trees from old photographs.

About me

I studied at Liverpool Art School during the 1990s and worked in design, illustration and painting before moving into digital design and technology.

As the move to digital artwork gathered pace, I was fortunate to study painting, printmaking and letterpress alongside those emerging technologies.

Returning to printmaking in 2020, I worked in linocut initially, while studying 20th Century wood engravers such as Claire Leighton, Gertrude Hermes, Eric Ravilious and Ethelbert White.

Wood engraving naturally followed, giving me scope to work at different scales and select techniques most appropriate to my intention for each work.

These artists found new languages in paint and print that continue to fascinate me.

My work is sold online and at art/print fairs – and occasionally exhibited.

See my works for sale page for more information on where to buy my prints and paintings.
