I am a Printmaker, working mainly with screen printing, currently exploring a painterly approach to using silkscreen printing to create multi-layered, unique, monoprints, usually also including handwritten, or screenprinted text and gold leaf. The words and phrases I use in my pieces are based on my life experience; inspired by the situations that we have all been through in the last couple of years and where we find ourselves now – both socially, politically, and personally. The works explore the meaning and use of words by the media and government to influence, manipulate and confuse us and my own experience of aging, being an artist whilst also running a business and the state of the world as I see it, often humorous and exasperated in equal measure!
