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.

Imprint Art Fair

Really pleased to be taking part in the first Imprint Art Fair this autumn. The fair is a successor to the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair.

You can find my work in the Discovery 2026 section where I'm showing my etching 'Old Man of Hoy', one of the pieces I made following a trip to Orkney in the Spring.

The full exhibitor lineup is on their website now. If you're coming, use ARTIST10 at the checkout for 10% off your tickets.
