Welcome, and I hope you enjoy my creative journey…
My blog documents my (mainly) print and creative pursuits, both those that are successful and those that aren’t. I post many step-by-step processes as a personal record but also to aid others following similar paths looking for instruction, tips and ideas. I hope you find it useful.
My galleries showcase some of my favourite works including an ever increasing range of artist books I enjoy creating.
If you’ve any questions, advice or just want to comment please feel free to contact me. I’d love to hear from you!
