I studied Visual Art at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, focusing mainly on printmaking. This was followed by a career as a television graphic designer producing title sequences and promos for dramas which influenced my work both visually and technically on my return to printmaking.

Favourite printmaking processes include lithography, monotypes, image transfer and photopolymer etchings. A print always starts with a photograph, a snapshot of time. This image becomes the source of a print through various layers of mark-making processes, resulting in small, variable editions. It is a sense of time, whether passing, frozen or snatched in a photograph, that lies underneath the imagery chosen. People rarely take centre stage, though they can sometimes be seen as fleeting figures passing by in a landscape. This is also reflected in my interest in how time and distance can imbue everyday objects with emotional connections.

I have exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Chelsea Arts Society, and am a member of the Printmakers Council.
