I am a painter and printmaker based at St. Barnabas Press in Cambridge. My painting and printmaking is about people and their dialogues, characters in the stage of life, real and imagined. I want to examine the flesh, bone and blood that constitutes the human form, and the complex relationships and narratives they manifest. ​​

 I am a life drawing fanatic, attending two sessions a week. The experience of being “sort of Irish” runs throughout my recent work. Its characters are displaced from their native place or time, sometimes finding themselves among the artifice and cultural maelstrom of the funfair.

All of this feeds into explorative and symbolistic works in oil paint and a range of traditional printmaking  techniques, aiming to create work that shouts that it has been created by a human hand. I am especially devoted to etching, where one uses acid to bite into copper plates, from which vibrant images are transferred to paper using rich, buttery ink. .
