I split my time between printmaking and working as a counsellor. I love how those two inspire and effect each other. Themes that show up in the counselling room, like grief, loneliness, love, self care, seeking connection, weave themselves into my art.

​

Most of my inspiration comes from going for walks in the beautiful and wild Welsh hills, or when I have my nose buried deep in a book. There is endless inspiration to be found around me.

​

Once an idea has formed in my head, I start drawing a rough sketch. I usually don't have a finished image in mind and often draw straight onto my linos. The picture comes together while I carve, it's a process that allows for changing your mind, for flexibility.

​

The process of printmaking lets me slow down, be present, collect my thoughts. It's a beautiful craft to get stuck into when everything around us seems to be excelerating.
