ACER, JAPANESE MAPLE ETCHING
Acer, Japanese maple leaves is a fine art etching and hand pulled print. This original piece is inspired by one of my favourite trees, the Acer also known as a Japanese maple. I love their warm autumn colours and sculptural shapes.
The design was hand etched onto a metal plate with smoked hard and soft ground. I then acid dipped each layer using a technique known as Aquatint. The completed plate is then inked with different colours and pressed into thick cotton paper to create a lovely impressed / embossed feel.

HEART REDUCTION LINOCUT
This limited edition Original linocut “Heart” in red, white and blue has been printed on both on Hosho and Kozo Japanese handmade papers.
It is inspired by love and the human heart. I wanted to reflect the emotion of ‘wearing your heart on your sleeve’. The use of red reflects the positive feelings of love and blue the negative. I produced this with one lino block, carving away each layer, hand printing then carving the next. The block is then carved away completely and no more of these can be produced.

LAKE DISTRICT LINOCUT
This is an original landscape wall art linocut hand printed onto Hosho Japanese paper in black and white.
This handmade piece is inspired by The Lake District National park in the U.K. After visiting a walking route near Ullswater I was inspired by the surrounding hills, forests and streams. The lakes flow through a beautiful natural landscape and shape the local environment.

BENIN BRONZE LINO PRINT
This linocut print is produced using three hand carved lino blocks on Hosho handmade paper. The piece is inspired by the West African sculptures on display at the British Museum.
The Benin Bronzes are a group of more than a thousand metal plaques and sculptures that decorated the royal palace of the Kingdom of Benin in what is now modern-day Nigeria. The earliest examples date back to the thirteenth century and were created by the Edo people.
The Gazania flower is native to Southern Africa. They come in bright shades of yellow and orange and have a daisy like shape. I liked the combination of the brighter flower in contrast to the earthier bronzes.
