I graduated from Wolverhampton University in 1996 with a degree in Fine Art (Printmaking) specialising in Intaglio techniques such as etching. I'm still based in the West Midlands area producing work mainly in watercolours, building up lots of layers and creating a sense of depth, shadow and atmosphere. Recently I have gone back to my first love of Printmaking. Having purchased an intaglio press I am now producing Collagraph and Carborundum prints. I base my work on my visits to many different ruins, castles and abbeys around the local area and further afield. I like the process of decay, a well preserved fragment of an earlier age.
