MY PRACTICE
From my studio in Torquay, in South Devon, I produce limited edition lino and mezzotint prints, and detailed works in pencil and charcoal.
I explore subjects that provoke a sense of the wild, mysterious and uncanny, that occasionally ptovide a glimpse into a world more often hidden from sight.
My subjects include the moorlands and coastlines of Devon and Cornwall, the movement of figures across dimly-lit floors, the flight of crows through imagined forests, and the remnants of folk tales and half-forgotten histories that wander like ghosts through the landscapes that surround me.
