My work has always consisted of simple drawn images which evolve through the print processes I use. The imagery I base my drawings on has changed greatly over the past few years, and currently is based on the 'everyday' objects I like, possessions, pets, my home and surroundings, people in my life and found imagery from magazines and books. The final prints are often based on a few key images and combine objects which you wouldn't normally see together.

I use both screenprinting and etching in combination, I have also started to collage cut paper within my prints. I love the way each print process gives images different qualities, from the very physical lines of an etching to the smooth surface of a screenprint. The original drawing changes and takes on new meaning through the repetition and transferrence from process to process. I like to use the print process and it's easy repetition to manipulate images, making changes in colour and layout on each print so that each one is individual.
