I originally studied painting, but the importance of drawing in my work led me to printmaking, especially under the influence of Paula Rego and Ana Maria Pacheco and my earlier prints explore narrative, storytelling, mythology and symbolism. After an MA in printmaking at Camberwell, my work became far more experimental, combining etching, drypoint, eco-printing with plant steaming, and solar plate etching.

These processes mix together. The prints often include installation elements. Sometimes I combine printmaking with my smoke pieces—using rips, burns, tears, and adding smoke directly to the surface.

I work instinctually, letting processes layer and intersect. Most prints use multiple techniques in one piece. This makes them unique—each one shaped by how the processes met that particular time.
