Lifes journey took me to experience the drama of city life in Manchester, where I studied printmaking.

Back on home turf, my eyes are reopened to the contrasts and uniqueness of this rural borderland.

I now make prints that explore and celebrate my local landscape awash with colour to capture its evolving energy and forms.
