| "My interest in landscape has developed over the years and is
now the prominent subject matter in my work. Living in the Yorkshire Dales has provided me with endless inspiration for my etchings and paintings. In depicting nature's forceful elements, primarily the weather and effects of light, I attempt to capture a sense of place using the diverse etching processes. In my recent work, I extend and develop such processes using the new non-toxic acrylic based etching techniques which enable experimentation and manipulation of line and texture. Now living and working in Edinburgh, I find the hills of East Lothian equally as captivating and inspirational, providing a fundamental influence on my current work. I plan to continue researching and developing my prints at the Edinburgh Printmaking Studio, expanding the boundaries of traditional etchings." |
