Artist Statement

I am a Printmaker whose main discipline is Wood Engraving. I also paint using Watercolour.
I am interested in the Australian landscape and  birds .
My interest in line and pattern in nature allows me to explore a diverse subject range.
Previously, I have done editions of owls and landscapes of the Mallee in Victoria and the North West of New South Wales.
All Editions are hand printed by me using Printing Ink on Zerkall paper.
