My training as an art historian and career as a picture editor in book publishing has trained my eye to alight on subjects that are quite graphical, made more eye-catching with contrasting colours, and I favour a narrative rather than abstract approach. I particularly enjoy the incisive qualities of the hand-drawn line, and of hand-carved or engraved printing blocks, and of the transformational effect of light that animates and elevates everyday objects. I work in many different media, from etching, wood engraving, drypoint, screenprint and linocut, to watercolour and oil paint.
