For several years I considered myself primarily a printmaker, but my interest in pushing the boundaries of printmaking has led me more and more into collage and mixed media. I began my life in art as a painter and graphic designer, and that background still informs all that I do. My work is filled with layers of information and of meaning, and often contains odd juxtapositions with their own resonance, open to endless interpretations.

I received my training as an architect at London University (formerly called Northern Polytechnic School of Architecture), and so after many years of presenting architectural renderings in graphite, ink line and in watercolor, I am now enjoying a new means of expression through the Intaglio medium combining line and aquatint.

I am intrigued by both structure and the juxtapositions that occur in our urban landscape. The interplay of form and reflection can be seen as a duel between apposing forces. Façade vs. mirror, light vs. dark, my work attempts to present portraits of our cityscapes, which ultimately are portraits of ourselves.

Since I started art I have been thinking about different cultures, imagination and appearance, time and space. Between and cross differences. The series of monotypes

My work is process orientated. It reflects my interest in memory, impermanence, and the relationship between opposites such as order vs. chaos, structure vs. gesture and line vs. form. The work is meditative and I try to show those things that are unexplainable or unspoken. Each piece has its own history which is partially revealed through various layers. They are images and marks contained in layers of space and time.
