Autumn Leaves

Painter/printmaker

 

Having worked on my painting and printmaking for a number of years, I am now able to devote more time to developing my work. Inspired by landscape and natural phenomena, I have worked with watercolour so that the translucent pigment of the paint combined with a variety of brushstrokes evokes surfaces,form and textures.

 

Printmaking compliments this well as the 'flow' of nature can be seen in these collagraphs, monotypes and etchings. The inking up of each individual plate gives expression to the form and structure of nature.

 

The most recent work has developed these themes further involving a greater level of abstraction. I have tried to capture the essence of movement and pattern made by natural phenomena.
