I don't think of myself as an "artist" - I consider that you need to be driven, gifted or at the very least brimming over with amazing ideas to make a claim for that title - but a life without creating some kind of art would for me be dull, unimaginable.   

A starting point for much of what I make is landscape and man's footprint upon it.  Equally I am fascinated by pattern, whether in the natural world or created.

I like to tell stories too.  And words - I think maybe I just like words.    

I try my ideas out primarily by making prints and books.  I also play at ceramics via a local college course.
