My inspiration comes from life, from my lived experience of aging and the passing of time; the ever changing nature of the city where I live and the countryside around my studio; the traces of human life left on buildings and the land. I find many parallels between this and the layering of colour and marks in the screen printing process; how the addition of a particular mark in a certain colour changes the artwork completely, in a moment.

I work on a series of pieces at once, moving between them and responding to each one individually as they develop, leaving one piece to breathe as I add layers, or marks, to another.

By painting directly onto the mesh of a blank silk screen, exposing hand drawn or painted marks onto another, and also adding acrylic paint and hand written text to each piece, I am able to build up colour and texture in the prints over multiple, semi-transparent, layers. Each piece ends up as a unique monoprint.
