Tree ring prints:
The beauty of trees is obvious to see from the outside but within their structure lies a hidden beauty that I endeavour to reveal through direct printing by hand from cut tree sections from already fallen trees. I turn these sections into printing blocks by working them flat before exposing the ring formations with fire.
Biography:
After my formal art and design studies and some years working with interior designers on new house builds I have been working within woodlands and landscapes with the Woodland Trust and managing light and dark through a lens with Vitsoe. I set up my art practice in 2005 creating abstract art in various forms and materials for private collections and galleries.
This year my work is being shown at the Fox Yard Studio, Suffolk, AKA Gallery, Cambridge and The Gallery at Green and Stone, London and in 2023 I exhibited at the London Biennale, Tarpey Gallery and the Heart of the Tribe Gallery. I am a member of Herts Visual Arts and will be taking part in their 2024 'Open Studio'.
