Until very recently, my work did not include painting.

I worked with print, found objects and books.

I altered and made artefacts using fabric, drills, sewing machine, alongside etching and other printmaking techniques.

In 2017 I was encouraged by a colleague to take up oil painting.

I feel that it has enabled me to approach my print making with fresh eyes.

    Throughout my career, creatively, I have been very spasmodic in my approach.

I have raised a family, taught, run a business and had random exhibitions.

I think, like most creative people, 2020 has closed many doors but opened others.

I like(d) going to exhibitions and galleries, most recently seeing Lucien Freud and Sir Antony Gormley.

I enjoy the work of Pop Artists, namely David Hockney, a Bradfordian, and love Vermeer.

I am influenced by social and political events.
