ABOUT

I’m a printmaker and artist based in Hove.

The majority of my work depicts strong, powerful women. On the paper or canvas, they take up space in bold line and colour. My aim is for them to break out of the surface they’re on. Much of my inspiration comes from the lost stories of women in history.

My work is influenced by the graphic styles and bold colours of Pop Art, Bauhaus, Riot Grrrl, street art, fanzines and propaganda posters, particularly those from the Soviet era.

I create my lino prints using traditional printmaking techniques, and each one is completely handmade. From drawing and transferring my designs, to carving the lino, rolling out the ink and pulling each print on the press, every stage of the process is done by hand. I primarily make my lino prints at Bip-Art in Kemptown, Brighton, using an 1860s Columbian press.

Alongside my lino prints, I also make screen prints and digital prints. My larger lino prints are also available as smaller-size museum-quality giclée prints.
