I am an East London based artist who works on large scale canvas pieces combining print and painting techniques. Having graduated from the RCA with an MA in Printmaking about 100 years ago , printmaking will always be in my first love and is very much my comfort zone, however I very much enjoy the fluidity and instantaneousness hands on experience of painting. I am therefore very happy resting in the middle of both worlds using traditional printing techniques within a painting. Each work still retains the freshness and spontanaity of a unique painting while incorporating screen and block print within each piece.
I am part of Barbican Arts Group Trust and have a studio at their Blackhorse Lane site in Walthamstow. Together we have Open Studio events, hold art auctions and take part in the biennial E17 Art Trail. I love my studio.
