Gallery: lino prints
I design, carve and press all my prints in my home studio in Edinburgh. I use Cranfield Caligo safewash inks and Somerset or Stonehenge printmaking paper. My carving tools are Pfeil, and I press with a Woodzilla lever press or my trusty wooden spoon. My inspiration comes from fables and myths, my love of birds and nature, reading and travel.

Some of these prints have now sold out. Please visit my Etsy shop for available paper prints or refer to the ‘find my work’ page for stockists of prints and paintings.

There has always been an element of pattern in my paintings, and for a long time I added this with potato print. Now I am working with lino a lot of the time, this has spilled into my paintings as well, and I'm using the same blocks as my prints as well as creating specific ones for each painting. My feisty ladies have always featured heavily, along with elements of myth and legend from all over the world, and motifs taken from the natural world. All my paintings are mixed media on board or wood, framed by my partner, Stuart in his amazing handmade frames.
Paintings
I used to paint exclusively, with elements of print added. Then I focused almost soley on lino print. Now I use the two together. Some of the paintings featured have already sold, others are available to buy from galleries. See the events and galleries page for a full listing of available and recently sold work. If in doubt please message me via the contact form. x
