Welcome

I’m a printmaker specialising in monochrome aquatint etching. Using traditional techniques, I hand-make etched brass and copper plates and use these to print onto paper. I’m drawn to moody, atmospheric landscapes and try to capture something of these through the soft, painterly tones of aquatint. Originally from the North East of England, my work now focuses on the dramatic landscapes of Scotland. My work is available in a number of galleries in Scotland and Northern England. I also regularly take part in art fairs and exhibitions.

I am a member of Edinburgh Printmakers and Printmakers of Scotland.

I'm looking forward to taking part this weekend. It will be good to be at a market just a few minutes down the road instead of my usual long drive to events. I will be showing a range of my original hand printed etchings, some local, some from further afield in Scotland and the UK.

Do drop by and say hello if you are coming.
