The need to make art is an itch that has to be scratched.
I get my ideas from everywhere . . . events, still-life, song lyrics, the landscape and architecture wherever I am. However, what interests me more than the images I make is the process used to make them, and how I can express an effect in, say, a landscape or building using, mostly, lino cut techniques and tools, some conventional, some not.
Colour plays a major role in some of my prints; others require the simplicity of black and white. However, printmaking offers one more thing once this is all complete. It offers the anticipation, and the moment of surprise, when the paper is lifted, offering endless new possibilities.
