As an artist and printmaker I approach silk-screen printing as a Fine Art medium rather than as a means of reproduction. I use serigraphy or silk-screen printing to create mono-prints and small, limited editions.

Each set of mono-prints, 10-12 in one set or small limited edition, explores a theme that is developed throughout the series. This results in sets of prints that relate to each other and allows the prints to work in pairs or triptychs.

I print spontaneously and often do not have a preconceived idea before I start and I compose each print individually by placing them differently under the screen. I combine various stencilling techniques, generally ones that encourage spontaneity, from torn paper stencils to painting directly onto the screen with block-out, but sometimes I use photographic stencilling methods as well. I am very rarely concerned with registration usually the printmakers pre-occupation.

All the work is printed on handmade, imported papers Fabriano and Moulin du Gue or onto canvas.

My prints are abstract landscapes or cityscapes that explore the power of colour. I still use solvent-based inks but am trying to move across to water –based colours. I use the rainbow technique of printing 3-4 colours at once, which increases the number of colours and is very difficult to do when creating editions of many prints. The colours are woven to create moods and atmospheres that relate to my memories and experiences of Africa, Europe and the United Kingdom.

My inspiration is derived from music, woven fabrics and patterns from a variety of cultures, calligraphy, and other artist’s work and from observation. I have been exploring the theme of "The Weave" for a number of years. To me the weave symbolises order, harmony and integration. The weave also relates to the artistic pre-occupations of women throughout the ages. I create images to contemplate, by balancing layers of colour that blend into each other, overlapping different areas of intensity and focus

.I have recently begun to work more with mixed media creating printed paintings on canvas. I print onto unstretched, pre-primed canvas, stretch it once I have done most the printing and then paint on top of the printed ground. This I find an exciting new direction as I am able to be far more messy and experimental. I do not have to be overly concerned with dirty finger prints and textures that appear through what I would normally call poor printing or blocked screens, as the textures seem to improve the printed painting. The works on canvas are printed and painted one off images.

My prints are sold by art consultants and have been purchased for corporate and private collections in England, France, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong and South Africa.
