About the portfolio

About my work

Drawings

I primarily make en plein air observational drawings, using graphite and resulting in images of organic forms. Back in the studio, recent work includes the use of collagraphic blocks to create graphite imprints that I also draw into.

Printmaking

I make small limited editions in a variety of methods: linocut, collagraph, screen printing and etching. In 2024 I joined the RDS print residency at Dumfries House and I won the inaugural Sonsoles Print Studio print prize at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair.

Digital drawing

Digital images are created en plein air using iPad Air and Apple Pencil with Procreate. This has introduced more colour into my drawing and digital collage to my practice.

Painting and other media

I've recently made some inroads into painting using watercolour and oils. I've also been experimenting with animation which I have found has brought unexpected benefits to my drawing.
