My prints have a traditional feel: they are copper plate etchings, using only line and cross-hatch in monotone to create a range of tones.  They reflect a love and fascination of the masters of the etching revival.  I explore topographical themes around the south coast and from travels around the world.  They are observational with a strong narrative or point of interest. Some are boldly figurative reaching far beyond just vernacular architecture.  Printmaking is the culmination of my various working methods which include drawing and painting.
