I am a self taught printmaker, predominantly producing linocut prints. I am a studio member at Northern Print in Newcastle, where I have fallen in love with their antique Albion press.
Originally from Carnoustie in Angus, I have lived in rural Northumberland since 2003. I live in the hamlet of Lanehead in Tarset with my husband Chris, and our dogs, George and Dave. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife, all underneath the dark skies of Northumberland National Park. This is the inspiration for my work. I am particularly drawn to hares, fascinated by the mystery and folklore that has surrounded them through the
My solo exhibition “Lepus - a printmaker’s celebration of the hare” is currently showing at Allendale Forge Studios & Gallery. It runs until 31st October. There will be a website print release of new work featuring in this exhibition, in October.
I also produce digital art and illustrations. I collaborated with author Anna Barker to illustrate her book of short stories “Rain Hare”, published in June 2022.
I attend a handful of fairs each year, as well as selling to trade. My cards and prints are available in a small number of galleries and shops in Northumberland and the Borders.
