Artist Statement

My current studio work focuses on producing hand-pulled etching prints using traditional techniques but utilising non-toxic methods. I enjoy the process of building an artwork by stages. My main body of work is intricate, detailed monochrome prints. I am drawn to texture and details using a multi-layered process with hand shaped plates and hand stitching.
